Anambra State Internal Revenue Services, AIRS, is the body charged with collecting internal revenues for the State.

For a state that has over 100 markets in Onitsha alone, 20 major international markets across the state, an industrial city in Nnewi and several semi-urban centres that can boast of appreciable economic activities, it is not a surprise that the agency responsible for revenue collection reeks in cash.

But top management staff of AIRS, have been enmeshed in a fight over revenues in the state and its collection. The fight however is principally between the Executive Chairman of AIRS, Chief Greg Ezeilo and the Executive Director of Operations in the agency, Dr. Christian Madubuko.

It was gathered that the bone of contention is who controls the internally generated revenue of the state.

Soludo had upon his swearing in charged the AIRS on increased generation of revenue. The governor gave the agency a target of growing the state’s internally generated revenue to N10 billion monthly.

The charge had then led to a revenue drive by the agency, which later led to a backlash on the governor, as people complained of being suffocated with taxes.

Though this was happening under Dr Richard Maddiebo as executive chairman, the agency later reformed its operation, such that it abolished collection of cash, opting for electronic payment.

A source within the agency, pleading for anonymity, said Madiebbo was bitter that despite the open confrontation and feud in the agency, Soludo failed to wade into the matter to call Madubuko to order.

His exit ushered in Chief Greg Ezeilo as the New Chairman and Executive Director. He was also in the system previously, and said to be grounded. His entry, however, created another round of feud between him and Madubuko, leading to his attempt to cut Madubuko to size.

It gathered that as part of the strategy, Ezeilo created a new office, UHBET Centre and assigned Madubuko an office in the complex while also changing his job description from being in charge of field operations to New Businesses Development, Motor Licensing, Road Taxes and overseeing the UHBET Computer-Based Testing Facility (CBT). This did not go down well with Madubuko, who ignored him and continued with his role as operations manager, leading staff to the field for enforcement.

Our source stated that: “The main reason for such insistence to remain in the field was because of the money involved. If you know how much is in the field, you will know why Madubuko insists on being in the field.

“On the other hand, the Executive Director himself also goes to the field. He has an eye in the field, and he does not want Madubuko with his overbearing influence to continue to pry into his affairs. There’s a whole lot of games going on there.”

Meanwhile, in an internal memo, which came in the form of a query, which Ezeilo issued to Madubuko, he accused him of several wrongdoings, including insubordination, usurpation of power, and converting of some of the agency’s operational vehicles for his personal use.
