Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano has urged all traders in the state to get ready to pay taxes and levies to ensure development of the state.
Obiano made this statement during the inauguration of the Traders’ House built by the Amalgamated Market Traders Association of Anambra State on Wednesday in Onitsha.
Obiano, who was represented by his deputy, Dr. Nkem Okeke said “The government had performed excellently well in security, construction and re-construction of roads as well as environmental cleanliness, which all of you can attest to.
“But we cannot do all these and sustain them without your cooperation through paying your taxes and levies; since traders make up 75 per cent of the population of the state.
“Again, it is clear to everyone in the country that allocation from the Federation Account is dwindling and we need to shore up our Internal Revenue Generation through streamlining our taxes and levies generation.”
