The Port Harcourt City Local Government Council has warned any person or group of persons collecting taxes and revenues on behalf of the council, to desist from the act or face the full wrath of the law.
Chairman of the Council, Hon. Victor Ihunwo made this known in a signed statement yesterday. He warned residents not to pay money to anybody as the only approved revenue agent for the LGA is Emma Wike and Partners.
Ihunwo who urged residents to report any of such persons perpetrating the illegal act to the relevant authorities, said he has not directed any person or group to collect revenue on the council’s behalf.
He said the approved revenue for the LGA for the year is the tenement rate which is payable to the council’s bank account.
He also advised residents to get the account details from the council secretariat or the approved revenue agent.
