The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has tasked residents of Abuja to pay their taxes.
The minister gave the charge on Monday at the flag off of the construction of Mohammed Isa Road Extension in Asokoro District, Abuja.
Wike stated that without the taxes there would be no meaningful development in the nation’s capital city.
He described road infrastructure as critical to economic growth and a major factor in attracting both local and international investors.
The minister emphasized the role of road infrastructure as the backbone of any modern city’s economic growth.
“I enjoin you to pay your taxes to enjoy the dividend of democracy. To enjoy more of these road projects in the FCT,” he said.
