Samuel Awoyinfa, AbeokutaThe Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, says the state government has been losing between N3bn and N5bn to illegal revenue collectors. He said this on Monday while flagging off a policy to eradicate multiplicity in haulage revenue collection at the June 12 Cultural Centre, Kuto, Abeokuta. Amosun said with the commencement of the harmonisation of the haulage revenue collection, a task force had been established to arrest any illegal toll collectors and that such suspects would be prosecuted. The governor said the new policy would not only block leakages but it would also safeguard the taxpayers from losing their hard-earned money to unbridled illegal toll collectors. “There will be provision of sign posts at approved toll points and control posts.”(Visited 301 times, 39 visits today)
