President Bola Tinubu urges residents, business owners, and developers in Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to pay taxes and settle ground rents and related land fees to support infrastructure development. The call is directed at ensuring compliance with local fiscal obligations in Abuja. According to the reports, Tinubu frames the payments as a means to fund critical public infrastructure in the FCT. The guidance also extends to clearing outstanding ground rents, which are charged for the use of land within the territory, and paying land-related fees linked to property and development.
While the articles focus on the president’s appeal, they do not provide specific figures for how much is owed, timelines for payment, or detailed enforcement measures. Overall, both outlets present the request as part of a broader effort to raise resources for infrastructure and encourage residents and businesses in the FCT to meet their statutory and contractual obligations.
