The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Saliu Adetunji, Aje Ogungunniso 1 has implored all taxable adults in the land to adhere strictly to their civic responsibilities and always pay their taxes  promptly in accordance with the law.
The monarch spoke  at his Popoyemoja, Ibadan palace while welcoming members of the Ebira Community in Ibadanland and Eyin Grammar Development Association,who paid him a courtesy visit
According to Oba Adetunji, it is both Biblical and Quranic for taxable adults to pay taxes into government coffers while it is also the responsibility of the government to use it wisely by providing social infrastructures.
Oba Adetunji’s appeal for prompt payment of taxes was supported by the Otun Balogun of Ibadanland, High Chief Femi Olaifa who noted that social progress and development is a two-way affair, involving both the government and the people.
High Chief Olaifa contended that neither the government nor the people could shoulder any responsibility alone.
The Olubadan later commended members of the Ebira community in Ibadanland led by Alhaji Lamidi Aliu Ozi Balogun, whose community falls under the leadership of Baale Raimi Rufai Fijabi, Baale Oke Itunu as well as members of Eyin Grammar Community Development Association led by Alhaji L. A. Adegoke, for their spirit of cooperation and unity of purpose.
