What You Should Know

The Akwa Ibom State Board of Internal Revenue Service was established in 2016 when the Executive Governor, Governor Udom Emmanuel, sent a Bill for “A law to make provisions for the administration and collection of revenue due to the Government of the Akwa Ibom State and to establish the relevant administrative structures and other matters connected therewith” to be enacted by the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly. This led to the 6th Assembly of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly (AKHA) passing the “Akwa Ibom State Revenue Administration Law, 2016” on 30th June, 2016 after all due legislative procedures. This law established a body to be known as the Akwa Ibom State Board of Internal Revenue (hereinafter referred to as the “the Board”) whose operational arm shall be known as the Akwa Ibom State Internal Revenue Service (in this law referred to as “Internal Revenue Service”). Accordingly, the development birthed the appointment of pioneer Board Executives who were sworn into office on 13th April, 2017.
