    Leaders and members of the All Progressives Congress(APC) in Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area have passed a vote of confidence in the administration of Governor Monday Okpebholo.

    The Ikpoba-Okha APC leaders said Governor Okpebholo’s leadership has steered the state towards progress and prosperity as well as inspired confidence in the hearts of the citizens

    This was contained in a communique issued at the end of the party leaders meeting held at the residence of a former member of the House of Representatives, Hon Ehiozuwa Agbonanyima at the weekend. The communique noted that various initiatives launched under Okpebholo’s administration, such as the Flyover bridge and other road projects demonstrated the governor’s commitment to improving the quality of life for all Edo citizens.

    It commended what it termed Okpebholo’s relentless efforts to enhancing infrastructure, education, healthcare and the focus on economic development and job creation.

    The communique said the Edo governor’s initiatives have fostered a spirit of togetherness and empowerment among the people of Edo State as well as encourage active participation in the governance process.

    According to the communique, “As you continue to navigate the challenges and opportunities that come your way, please know that you have our full support. Your leadership and vision for a better Edo State resonate with our aspirations, and we stand behind you in your quest to elevate our state to even greater heights. 

    “We, the good people of Ikpoba-Okha APC, hereby pass a vote of confidence on you for your seamless efforts to make Ikpoba-OkhaEdo State a better place for all.”

    Addressing the gathering, Hon Agbonanyima urged the APC members to be patient with the administration of Okpebholo, cautioning against having a divided party in the state.

    He said: “What is important is working as a team. We can never win any election if we are not working together.

    “Okpebholo is working. He is among the governors that are working. We have to be patient. Promises were made to the Legacy PDP group. Some of you complained that they are PDP. Do not forget they supported us and we cannot push them away. 

    “We should not start complaining and making derogatory statement at this time. We have other positions that people complained about. Our governor has said Ikpoba-Okha is the most populated local government. He said he will everything to ensure the LG benefits the most.”

    Ikpoba-Okha APC Chairman, Sunny Ogbewe, urged the party members to believe in the ability of Okpebholo to deliver good governance.

    NLNG Train 7 Project: Daewoo Resolves Conflicting Tax Matters with Workers

    Blessing Ibunge in  Port Harcourt

    Daewoo Engineering and Construction Nigeria Limited (DECN) has announced that all matters concerning tax deductions at the NLNG Train 7 Project site have been fully clarified and conclusively resolved in conjunction with the Rivers State Internal Revenue Service (RIRS).

    It will be recalled that DECN had earlier requested a 14-day window to address and resolve the tax concerns that led to the protest by Welders and Fitters working on the project.

    In response to the situation, the Chairman of Bonny Local Government Area, Abinye Blessing Pepple, convened a stakeholders’ meeting and subsequently inaugurated a 14-member investigation committee to examine the tax-related concerns at the site.

    Following the recent misunderstandings regarding tax deductions and clearance certificates, DECN requested the RIRS to review and verify the company’s overall tax status.

    In a statement signed by the Community Affairs and Security Manager, DECN, Limited, Mr. Bernard Ewubare, the company explained that during the official review process, the RIRS confirmed that there are no outstanding tax liabilities, discrepancies, or irregularities.

    Also, that: “All Tax Identification Numbers (TINs) and Tax Clearance Certificates (TCCs) issued to DECN personnel are authentic, valid, and duly issued by the RSIRS.

    “DECN’s tax deductions, remittances, and filings have been accurately and transparently executed in full compliance with Nigerian tax laws.”

    To ensure continued transparency and prevent future misunderstandings, Ewubare disclosed that DECN also conducted a short simulation demonstrating how employees can independently verify their tax information through the RIRS online platform.

    “This practical step further reinforced confidence among workers and stakeholders regarding the company’s compliance and accountability,” he stated.

    The company, however, appreciated the  RSIRS, the Bonny Local Government Council, the Welders and Fitters Association, the media, and all stakeholders for their cooperation and support throughout the process.

    DECN further reaffirmed that the tax matter has been completely resolved, confirming the company’s strong commitment to transparency, due process, and sound corporate governance.

    “DECN remains dedicated to maintaining a compliant, trustworthy, and productive working environment as it continues the successful delivery of the NLNG Train 7 Project,” Ewubare stated.
