The Edo State Government has asked people to support Governor Godwin Obaseki’s state government in achieving the Making Edo Great Again (MEGA) Agenda by paying their taxes, which will allow the government to carry out its developmental projects.
Hon. (Barr) Andrew Adaze Emwanta JP, Edo State Commissioner for Communications and Orientation, told journalists in Benin City that the government will continue all ongoing programs to improve people’s living standards and safeguard Edo State’s economic development.
Restating the need for residents to pay their taxes, Emwanta said the government can only succeed when everyone, including the government and citizens, plays their roles and fulfills their obligations, adding that payment of taxes by citizens is the only sustainable source through which the government raises the required funds and resources to finance development projects.
Hailing the governor’s determination to bettering the livelihoods of the majority of Edo people, he noted that “Governor Obaseki is a blessing to the state, being a technocrat who knows the onus and will always go for the best towards making Edo great again, in the overall interest of the good people of the state.
“The governor is changing the narrative from what used to be in the state with modern innovation that would guarantee the future of the people of the state.”
On his part, Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Comrade Josede Sede harped on the need for massive support from the people if the present administration must meet with the people’s demands.
Sede, who highlighted some of the modern infrastructural projects of the Obaseki-led administration, which he said can be compared to what is obtained in developed countries of the world, noted that the present administration is committed to making the state a developmental eye mark.
