A case for tax in Kwara

Date: 2017-02-14

Transition Implementation Chairman (TIC), Ilorin West council of Kwara State, Alhaji Abdul-hameed Alli has urged residents of the council to pay their tax promptly.

Journalist-turned politician said this would bring development to the door steps of the people.

Alhaji Alli said this at the launch of this year's maternal and child health week in Oko-Erin ward in Ilorin, the state capital.

He said that "like this programme now, it was derived from our internally generated revenue (IGR). So if people are paying their taxes we should be able to recoup that back into the society. So you will never hear me say that there is no money. Other people would have been hiding under the platform of paucity of funds. The magic wand of my success is sincerity to serve.

"I urge the beneficiaries to make use of the opportunity. Secondly, they should also support the government by paying their taxes. It is those that have paid that we have used their money to touch lives; they should see that this government is a very sincere one that is willing to assist at all times."

He continued that: "This is actually the second place we are doing it. The first one was done by my wife at Pakata Health centre, but because of the uniqueness of Ilorin West local government and for the project to get to the grassroots i find it important to launch it here as advised by the health department of the council. Just after this, all the 12 wards in the council will benefit from this.

"I have always been proud to be a journalist. We see and write to put public office holders on their toes. So we won't want to be criticised. I adopt the policy of a good listener. Like the lady that attested to my achievements. I got a call that on a particular night they rushed a patient here and it was so bad that they had to use lantern to attend to the patient. It was a deplorable situation.

"On the 50th birthday of Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed's wife, Omolewa I instituted Omolewa Health Scheme during which went around some hospitals assisting some with health challenges. At the end of the day we came here and based on their earlier request a brand new generating set was handed over to them.!"
