ONDO GOVT. COMMENCES ENFORCEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH ROAD TAXES LAW, SAYS ALL VEHICLES MUST BE DULY REGISTERED.

  A joint team of the Ondo State Internal Revenue Service (ODIRS), Vehicle Inspection Officers(VIO) officers of tge Police Force, officers of Niferia Securityabd Civil Defence Corps and officers of tge Federal Road Safety Commissii have commenced enforcement exercise on road taxes law in the state.

The execise, which commenced in Akure South local government area on Tuesday, was carried out along Oyemekun and Arakale roads as well as Alagbaka axis of the state capital.


 Speaking with journalists during the enforcement, the State Licencing Officer (SLO) of ODIRS, Mr Samuel Olajide said  essence of the exercise is to enforce road users compliance with traffic laws. He added that the traffic laws are so clear that any vehicle that will ply government road must have been registered and have a valid document.


  He emphasised that "there are some vehicles with illegal number plate like commercial vehicles using government number plates, there also some unregistered vehicles, some vehicles are having old number plates, some drivers are with expired documents and driver's license, some don't even have.   

We're carrying out this exercise because the government is concerned about the safety and security of lives of our people. These people carrying out criminal acts  can easily be tracked if vehicles owners have valid documents". 


    He stressed that the ODIRS collaborated with  Vehicle Inspection Officers and others as they are the ones saddled with the responsibility of inspecting vehicles under the law. While urging the people found guilty of one offence or the other to do the needful, Olajide noted that the enforcement exercise is quarterly.


Mr Adeniyi Adenegan, the officer in charge of the enforcement noted that the Vehicle inspection Officers and the ODIRS are partners in progress.

"We as enforcement officers, they need us to make the enforcement easier because the enforcement has been our system of working and working with them will make the enforcement a success". He added that the purpose of the enforcement is to sensitize road users to renew their driver's license and vehicle documents as it is unlawful for any road user to drive without a valid license and documents.

      AKURE OBASHIP: OBA AGUNSOYEBIOYINBO ADEMUAGUN ADESIDA 11 BROUGHT CLASS AND DIGNITY TO THE THRONE                 By Sunday Ajibola There are men and there are men. Man gets to positions of power and authority and bring to bear their inner qualities. Position, as we have it here, is used to do all sorts of things; good and bad. But mostly and vexatiously, position blinds us as we use it to cheat and deny others their rights. Certain men understand that position is an opportunity to etch their names in gold and put such in the sand of time.   It is exactly fifty years today that the 42nd Deji of Akure, late Oba Agunsoyebioyinbo Ademuagun Adesida 11 joined his ancestors. That fateful day was Sunday and in the evening; darkness was just enveloping the city. It was the strange shouts of "opo ye o, opo ye o, opo ye o", that prompted me to rush out of our house at Oke aro. I saw people running helter, skelter. I did not bother about them. I was looking for the "electric

Leading Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Liquid has been hit by hackers, with almost $100m (£73m) estimated to have been stolen.  The company announced that some of its digital currency wallets have been "compromised." It is the second major theft of cryptocurrencies to take place in recent days.                 Last week, digital token platform Poly Network was at the centre of a $600m heist. "WE ARE SORRY TO ANNOUNCE THAT #LIQUIDGLOBAL WARM WALLETS WERE COMPROMISED, WE ARE MOVING ASSETS INTO THE COLD WALLET," THE COMPANY SAID ON TWITTER.
