He said any person or group of persons that violates the order would be made to face the full wrath of the laws.

He added that the decision by the State Government to only recognize the State Internal Revenue Service (EIRS) licensed agents was to ensure the protection of the citizenry from any form of extortion as well as safeguard revenue collection processes from any leakage.

Ikhilor added that the state government resolved that the system of revenue collection shall solely be predicated on the existing template developed by the EIRS in conjunction with the Local Government Councils and the various associations in the state.
