The meeting was to discuss areas of collaboration from both organisations in fostering and sensitization of the public on tax matters, pointing out its relevance to the growth and development of Cross State.
According to Prince Oliver Okon “The evidence of tax payment is clear and can be seen all over the state. The solar street lights in the Calabar metropolis and road constructions are evidence.”
“I will also ensure that CRIRS Partners with FADFM 93.1 Calabar in dissemination of relevant information.” He added.

He also stated that the duty of the IRS does not just end at ensuring tax is paid, but also putting down its ears to get information that could be of benefit to the state.
