President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called for greater tax compliance among Nigerians, stressing that sustainable infrastructure development depends on citizens’ willingness to contribute their fair share to the nation’s revenue pool. The call was made during the commissioning of the full scope development of a road in the Dape District of the Federal Capital Territory on Wednesday.
Represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, Tinubu said the newly completed road corridor was a strategic investment designed to improve connectivity, reduce traffic congestion, and unlock economic opportunities.
The President noted that projects such as this remind citizens that development is a shared responsibility, as every kilometre of road, every bridge, and every public facility is made possible through collective contributions to the national purse.

He urged individuals and businesses to embrace tax payment as a civic obligation, noting that improved compliance would strengthen the government’s capacity to meet growing infrastructure demands without excessive dependence on borrowing. Tinubu assured taxpayers that revenues generated would continue to be channelled into projects that directly benefit citizens, as the administration remains committed to ensuring transparency and accountability in the use of public resources.
