The Chairman of Kuje Area Council, Abdullahi Suleiman Sabo, has said the council will soon commence the collection of tenement rates.

He said the move was to boost the councils Internally Generated Revenue, for the development of the area.

Sabo stated this during a town hall meeting with stakeholders and officials of the Department of Area Council, Federal Capital Territory Administration last Thursday.

He said the tenement rate if properly harnessed would bring about infrastructural development and job creation in the area council.

He said the suspension had been earlier placed on the collection of tenement rates in the council but has now been lifted, adding that the collection would commence soon.

The chairman, therefore, appealed to members of the public to make all payments to the appropriate quarters and visit the council for any clarification.

He said consequently the area councils were asked to make necessary submissions to the National Assembly with a view to studying and harmonising grey areas. ‎
