Adeniji, who made the appeal in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ota, said payment of taxes would enable government to provide adequate amenities to the people.
According to him, it is the responsibility of every administration to improve its Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) so as to improve the welfare of the citizens.
“We are making concerted efforts to improve our IGR because without that, the state will not be able to provide basic infrastructure to the people,” the council boss said.

He also said that a cemetery had been approved in the council area as part of measures to boost its IGR.
