The Chairman Abuja Municipal Area council, Hon. Christopher Maikalangu has inaugurated a Task force to monitor, and block revenue leakages in the council.
Inaugurating the team, the chairman asked the task force to assist and rid off the council of touting and thuggery in the name of revenue collection.
He said the team will also end the issue of cases of fake and unauthorised revenue collectors and restore sanity in the system.
Maikalangu said the task force is expected to identify tax evaders, arrest and prosecute offenders with a view to restoring coordination in system by developing database for effective resource and revenue mobilization for sustainable development of the council.
The chairman also revealed that the team is attached with a standing mobile court to entertain all forms of revenue matters within its office at Apo secretariat to try anyone found wanting in the process.
He stated that the initiative is guided by his administration’s deep commitment towards delivering on the much desired dividends of democracy across the 12 political wards of AMAC.
Responding, the task force chairman Yunusa Yusuf promised the chairman that there was no doubt that the team will deliver within the short possible time.
He said revenue matters in the council would be taken more serious, and residents must adhere to the laid down rules or face the full wrath of the law.
