Tax Inspectors in Ogun State have again been urged to continue to be professional, diligent and honest in the execution of their duties while they display uncommon commitment to the vision of the present administration.
The Head of Service, Mr. Kolawole Fagbohun gave the charge while delivering a keynote address at a one-day capacity building session put together by the Inspector of Taxes Forum (ITF), Ogun State Internal Revenue Service, held at the Obas’ Complex, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.
According to him, the Inspectors of Taxes and all revenue collection job categories in the Civil Service have a central role to play to ensure that adequate financial resources are made available to the State Government to execute its programmes in order to be able to cater for the workers’ welfare and the citizenry at large.
He urged them to re-dedicate themselves and be alive to their official duties, shun any form of unethical and unprofessional behaviour in the conduct of official assignments and not drag the Civil Service into disrepute by ensuring that all hands are on deck to get revenue in the most effective and efficient manner.
Earlier in his welcome address, the Chairman of the Forum, Mr. Hezekiah Sobayo, appreciated the Head of Service for honouring the Forum’s invite despite the very short notice and other busy schedule, as this is the first of its kind in their midst.
He said the session was put in place to acquaint the officers with the extant rules and regulations of the Civil Service.
