Governor Alex Otti of Abia state has announced the immediate suspension of levies in Abia state. In his words he wrote;
“In line with my campaign promise to sanitize methods of revenue collection in Abia, and stop all kinds of extortion, intimidation and harassement of motorists, I have directed the immediate suspension of all kinds of Transport Levies payable to Abia state government and imposed on Tricycles, Buses, Taxis and other commercial vehicles plying Abia roads.

This suspension takes immediate effect and will remain until we review these levies and make public arrangements for the smooth, organized and transparent collection of such Transport Levies. In the light of the above decision, I have asked all those involved, directly and indirectly to please discontinue forthwith, or face the wrath of the law, as security agents have been briefed and directed to apprehend and bring to justice anyone found violating this directive”..

This is coming in just barely a day in Office.

People friendly policy. But the levy should be streamlined and resumed soon for the betterment of the state.

A working governor.....not one vegetable selected by INEC that doesn't know the process to follow before implementing an order

When you are ready for a job which you perfectly suits, that's how your policies go...



Otti for the top!
