The Lagos State Government has commenced a sensitisation drive, appealing to property owners to promptly pay the Land Use Charge for the development of the state.
The Commissioner for Finance, Abayomi Oluyomi during a chat with Parkview Residents’ Association’s General Meeting in Ikoyi explained that the payment would enable the government to address all infrastructure challenges raised at the meeting with ease.
He also announced a 15% discount on payments as an incentive to encourage payments but warned that there were legal consequences for refusing to pay.
On the sidelines, the commissioner said the government decided to change strategy to begin visiting residents’ associations on the axis to boost compliance.
