He disclosed that he was putting an end to the revenue collection contracts because of the fraud that was being perpetrated by those who were in the sector.
According to him, it is the theft that is being carried out by revenue collectors that have helped to dwindle the revenue of the state and prevented the state from carrying out some of its obligations.
Dropping "His Excellency" Title
Soludo said that as soon as he is sworn in as the executive governor of Anambra State, he would drop the title of "His Excellency" which is being used by state Governors.
