Plateau State Governor Barr. Caleb Mannaseh Mutfwang has banned the unlawful collection of taxes in the 17 Local Government Areas of the state with immediate effect.

Commissioner of Information and Communication Hon. Musa Ashoms in a press statement issued on Thursday said Governor Mutfwang made the declaration at the ongoing retreat for newly inaugurated members of the State Executive Council, Political Appointees, Permanent Secretaries, Chief Executives of Parastatals, and the Governor’s Direct Reporting Unit Staff holding at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru.

According to the Statement said Governor Mutfwang also outlined his vision for a transparent and inclusive administration, highlighting plans to conduct regular town hall meetings to keep the citizenry abreast with the day-to-day workings of government.

Mutfwang stressed the need for an end to revenue diversions and unlawful tax collections throughout the state as it is a critical responsibility for the government.

He expressed determination to wield the necessary political influence to reform the revenue structure of the state and solicits cooperation and collaboration from those involved in revenue collection.

He declared that roadblocks for revenue collection within Plateau State are unacceptable under the present dispensation.

Governor Muftwang praised the Ministry of Transportation for facilitating air travel connections between Abuja and Jos, as well as Lagos and Jos.

“All illegal taxation roadblocks are hereby banned in the 17 LGAs of Plateau state”.
