GOV. SHERRIF OBOREVWORI INAUGURATES BOARD OF DELTA STATE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, CHARGES MEMBERS TO FOCUS ON M.O.R.E. agenda.

Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has urged the State Board of Internal Revenue Service to extend the state’s tax net to the informal sector in order to capture more businesses in the sector and broaden the revenue base of the state.

Oborevwori gave the charge in Asaba at the inauguration of the Chairman, Hon Solomon Ighrakpata and Executive Directors of the Delta State Board of Internal Revenue Service.

They are Dr Frank Nwugo, Executive Director, Operations; Mr. Kelly Oghenekevwe, Executive Director, Finance and Administration; Mr. Collins Iwebunor, Executive Director, ICT and Corporate Development; and Hon. Orezi Esievo, Executive Director, Legal Services.

While congratulating the members of the new Board on their appointment, the Governor expressed optimism that they would perform creditably with the rich blend of experts, technocrats and seasoned administrators.

He commended the previous Board, headed by the current Deputy Governor of the State, Sir Monday Onyeme, for its great impact on revenue generation and charged the new Board to surpass the achievements of the previous Board, in line with the administration’s M.O.R.E. agenda.
