\u2018EVERY KOBO COUNTS\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, what we are doing is to back up our talk with our walk.\u00a0 The State Government cannot be promising prosperity in the future without investing in the future.\u00a0 I have just invested my quota by paying my Land Use Charge and I ask all residents\/citizens to join me by courageously making a decision for prosperity and pay all their due taxes.<\/p>\n

Lagosians, with your full support, there is evidence that every kobo paid in taxes, has been productively utilized in infrastructural renewal and development of the State in the last Two and a Half (2\u00bd) years.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

It is my hope that we have gained your trust and confidence to move this State forward.\u00a0 For every one kobo you pay as taxes, we will give greater value and comfort to all citizens without anyone being left behind.<\/p>\n

In order to ensure that the Government improves on the quality of service delivery to our people, effective from 1st March 2018, no payments or taxes would be made by cash henceforth across the State.\u00a0 Tax payers should be able to pay all legitimate bills through all payment channels at their own time and convenience.\u00a0 The transaction process is now everyday, anytime and no weekends.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

We should be able to pay our taxes from any bank, WebPay, Paypoint and USSD encouraging mobile money without any contact with Government officials.\u00a0 Every Kobo Counts.\u00a0 Do not pay into wrong hands anymore.<\/p>\n

In partnership with Interswitch Ltd, all the multi-layer platforms are to be deployed and used by all Government Ministries, Agencies, Parastatals and associated Companies\/Units.\u00a0 Local Governments must quickly adjust their collection machinery to eliminate all leakages also.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, I appeal to all taxable adults to be patriotic in this crusade.\u00a0 That Flyover or health centre is built from your contributions.\u00a0 The Facility provided is for everybody irrespective of tribe, religion or creed.\u00a0 Let us show the rest of Nigeria what it is to be a proud Lagosian.\u00a0 Perform your civic duties.\u00a0 It is the right thing to do.<\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n
