POWA Commends IMSAA On Revenue Generation Approach

The Police Officers Wives Association (POWA), Imo State chapter has commended the Imo Signage and Advertisement Agency (IMSAA) for a revitalising approach to revenue generation in Imo State.

POWA gave the thumbs up to the state signage agency during a meeting between the two organisations on Thursday March 3, 2022, in the IMSAA’s Ndubuisi Kanu Square office premises.

Speaking on behalf of POWA, the Secretary of the association, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Mrs. Esther Obi said IMSAA’s pioneering style of engaging stakeholder groups in the process of carrying out its lawful assignment is a commendable one that is worthy of emulation. The Agency’s approach, she said, is one that reduces friction and rancour with the tax-paying public.

These were geared at seamless revenue generation.
