He also stated that government will replicate the model for all the revenue collections in the state. Madiebo said that the state government was still having challenges making people in the markets comply with digital payments.
“The Keke model will be replicated in all the markets in Anambra state. Though, we are having challenges for those in the markets paying in through digital means.
“Surely, we will keep to the Keke model. Before now people are doing all things they want in the name of revenue collections, but now it can no longer work for them” he said.
