Tinubu to Nigerians: Pay your taxes, more infrastructure projects are coming
President Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerians and residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to pay their taxes and levies, assuring that his administration will continue to deliver more infrastructure projects across the country.
Tinubu made the appeal on Thursday during the commissioning of the Arterial Road N16–Ring Road III Interchange, linking the Jahi and Gwarimpa districts of Abuja.
Represented by Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, the President described infrastructure development as the foundation of prosperity and a key pillar of his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
According to him, the newly commissioned interchange is more than just a road project, saying it represents improved mobility, economic growth, and renewed confidence in governance.
“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,” Tinubu said.
He noted that the intersection had long been a major traffic bottleneck in Abuja, causing severe gridlock stretching from Maitama to Gishiri and from Jahi to Gwarimpa, resulting in lost productive hours, wasted fuel, and economic losses.
“With this project, that story ends. Workers will get home earlier, businesses will thrive, and security will improve because criminals thrive when society stands still,” he added.
The President stressed that roads are the arteries of a nation and that connecting communities ultimately connects opportunities and destinies.
“Build the roads, unlock the economy, and let Nigerians thrive. The Jahi-Gwarimpa interchange is proof that Nigeria is not beyond redemption. With focus, discipline, and political will, Nigeria can deliver, and we are delivering,” he stated.
Tinubu, however, urged citizens to fulfill their civic obligations by paying taxes, saying government revenue is critical to sustaining infrastructure development and improving public services.
“Pay your taxes and levies so that government can do even more for you,” he said.
