According to THE WILL, the KGIRS said it was not in dispute with the Association of Telecom Providers, but with the Telecom companies individually, for their refusal to pay their taxes and stressed that the telecom association should not be brought into the matter.
The KGIRS says as an organisation that has tremendous respect for the rule of law, it will not take any action that infringes on the rights of individuals or corporate organisations as it is committed to complementing the efforts of Kogi State Government at making the State the investment haven. jamb results
