The Chief Judge of Akwa Ibom State, Justice Ekaette Obot, has called for an end to the continuous crisis between the state government and local authorities on tax collection.
Obot stated in Uyo while delivering a keynote address at a 3-day training on taxation for judges, organised by the state Internal Revenue Service in collaboration with the Akwa Ibom State Judiciary. “Here, I must say that there is a lot of dispute as to the collection of tax between the state and the local governments because a lot of them when they come to court, they will say, ‘No, it’s the right of the local government to collect’ in view of the constitution and the state will also say the same. So, I will like this to be ironed out at this training,” the CJ said.
