Yenagoa LG Chair laments takeover of IGR by Bayelsa Govt

The chairperson of the Yenagoa Local Government, Nimizuo Urouoaye, on Thursday bemoaned the takeover of the collection of Internally Generated Revenue in the council area by the Bayelsa government.

He explained that efforts to get the state government to pay the agreed percentage of accruable revenue to the local council has been unsuccessful, a development that compelled the council to seek legal redress. “We have been appealing to the state government to consider our status and give us the percentage agreed under the unified revenue system but getting no response, we had to go to court to assert our rights and fight for our people.

“But the truth is that we are fighting for our people and if some people misrepresent our intentions it is purely out of mischief and if it is the sacrifice for serving my people of Yenagoa, so be it,” Urouoaye said.
