President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday urged residents and businesses in the Federal Capital Territory to pay their taxes, ground rents and other statutory charges, saying government revenue remains critical to sustaining infrastructure development across the nation’s capital.

He made the appeal at the inauguration of the completed Arterial Road N5 linking Life Camp Junction and Ring Road III in Abuja’s Dape District, a project expected to improve access to several growing communities and the Idu Industrial District.

Represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, the President said citizens must support government efforts through compliance with tax and land payment obligations.

“To the residents and business owners enjoying this transformation, I urge you to meet your obligations. Pay your taxes.
