The Anambra State haulage revenue coordinator, Hon. Osita Ezeuka, Friday, reads riot act to members of his organization vowing to suspend erring ones even as he commended Governor Chukwuma Soludo, for sacking touts in the state.
Sounding the note of warning while addressing the members during the maiden prayer session held at Asaba park, Onitsha Bridge head approach, to ward off evils within the haulage transport sector, Hon. Ezeuka, reiterated his resolve to sack the bad eggs who according to him drag the image of the organization to the mud.
“With the sack of the touts by Soludo, days were gone when road workers smashed vehicle glasses, doors and looted the vehicle. This time we show human face in what ever we do. Now you have gentle men on the road who operate in line with the road rules and regulations.
“God, through Governor Chukwuma Soludo, brought our head, Chief Greg Ezeilo, to improve on the state Internally Generated Revenue, IGR, and I thank God that he is equal to the task. Actually he has been able to improve on it which has assisted immensely towards the rapid infrastructural development of the state.
“I commend Governor Chukwuma Soludo for sacking touts in the state as money meant for the state went to their private pause. However, they have now resorted to using charms to distabilize the smooth running of the transport sector in a bid to have their way back but with prayers which we have embarked upon monthly, there is no cause for alarm,” he assured.
In his homily, the Presiding Pastor, Jeremiah Ezeh, who is the state park management Evangelical coordinator, urged the road transport workers to see their call to duty as humanitarian service adding that every one has a divine call different from others.
He commended Governor Chukwuma Soludo, through the chairman, Anambra Internal Revenue Service, AIRS, Chief Greg Ezeilo, for finding Hon. Ezeuka, worthy for the job assuring that he will not disappoint in his duty.
Highlight of the occasion was entertainment of the congregation with gospel music by Uche Vera, (guest artist), through her group live band.
