ADEOLA OGUNLADE
The revenue mobilisation and compliance exercise of Ikeja Local Government entered its fourth day on Friday, with the Executive Chairman, Comrade Akeem Olalekan Dauda (AKOD), leading direct engagements with business owners in Computer Village.
The exercise concluded its activities on Adepele Street, where the Chairman and the revenue team verified payments, clarified outstanding obligations and educated business owners on current revenue assessments and the need to obtain official receipts.
The week-long engagement recorded encouraging compliance, with many businesses responding positively to the Council’s mobilisation and education efforts.
Comrade Dauda urged businesses still relying on old revenue bills to obtain current assessments and fulfil their statutory obligations, stressing that improved revenue compliance would strengthen the Council’s capacity to provide better infrastructure, environmental services, healthcare and other development projects.
Following the conclusion of activities on Adepele Street, the revenue team moved to Otigba Street, where the mobilisation and compliance exercise will continue in full force.
