‘Pay Your Taxes So That Govt Can Do More For You’ – Tinubu Tells Nigerians

President Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians and residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to pay their taxes so his administration can deliver more infrastructure projects.

NEWSNGR reports that Tinubu spoke on Thursday during the commissioning of the interchange at Arterial Road N16 – Ring Road III Intersection linking Jahi District to Gwarimpa District in the FCT.

Tinubu, who was represented at the commissioning by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, said infrastructure is the foundation of prosperity, which is the cardinal principle of his administration.

President Tinubu also assured Nigerians that the country is not beyond redemption.

He said, “I’m very proud to stand here to commission this Arterial road interchange N16 linking Jahi district to Gwarimpa District of the FCT.

“This is not just a bridge and slip roads, this is freedom of movement and time returned to the people, this is renewed hope that you can even drive on. This intersection used to choke the entirety of Abuja, gridlock stretched from Maitama to Gishiri, from Jahi to Gwarimpa; hours lost, fuel wasted, business were lost but today that story ends.

“This interchange opens up critical districts of the FCT and connects them smoothly to the rest of the FCT. Workers will get home earlier, security will improve because criminals strive when security stands still.

“Ladies and gentlemen, infrastructure is the foundation of prosperity which is the cardinal principle of this administration. Roads are the arteries of a nation, when we connect districts we connect destines and that is the logic of the renewed hope agenda, build the roads unlock the economy and let Nigerians strive.

“The Jahi-Gwarimpa interchange is proof that Nigeria is not beyond redemption. With focus, discipline, and political will, Nigeria will deliver and we are delivering, the FCT is delivering.

“Also pay your taxes and levies so that government can do even more for you.”
