President Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerians to pay their taxes, saying that is the only way the government can meet their demands for infrastructure and public services.
Tinubu spoke on Friday at the Africa CEO Forum in Kigali, Rwanda, where he said Nigerians want well-equipped hospitals but are unwilling to pay taxes, while others want good roads but oppose construction through their properties.
“Nobody wants to pay taxes. Taxation is not friendly to the wealthy, middle class, and to the poor.
“Every human being expects development, but the question they don’t answer is how do you pay for it. You want a good highway, but you don’t want it to go through your land.
