Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has urged sons and daughters of the soil working in other states but with residences in Anambra to remit their taxes to the state government to enable the administration deliver better social services to the people.
He lamented the poor tax payment culture in Nigeria, saying Anambra is perhaps one of the states in the country with very poor tax revenue.
The former governor of the Central Bank said now that oil money is on its way out, and Nigeria increasingly has little choice but to rely on taxes to provide services to its citizens, explaining that there is a need for people to understand that payment of tax is a civic duty.
Soludo assured the indigenes of the state both resident and non-residents that every tax revenue entrusted to his administration will be fully accounted for.
