Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode has
identified the need for residents to adopt a willful approach to the payment of
taxes as a means of addressing fundamental challenges confronting the State and
accelerating development in all sectors and sections.
Speaking at a sensitization workshop
on 2017 Water Technology and Environmental Control Exhibition and Conference held in Lagos, Governor Ambode said out of a population of
22million, only 600,000 Lagos residents are up to date in paying their taxes,
and that such was not helpful to scale up provision of infrastructure and other
amenities for the people.
The Governor said it was time for a
convergence between civic obligations and the ability of government to build
trust by using taxes of citizens judiciously and assured that his
administration, within the available resources, would continue to invest in
infrastructure and deliver good governance to make life comfortable and easier
for the people.
