Wike urged companies in the FCT to ensure the prompt payment of its taxes, insisting the government would be unable to construct roads and public buildings without the payment of taxes.
“…I also encourage you to make sure that you pay your taxes because that is what drives the government,” Wike said.
“Abuja is not like other states where they get money from the Federation Account. We are only relying on taxes”
He also assured that the FCT was safe for investors to come and invest, adding that security and job creation were among the top priorities of the FCT Administration, in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
