The chairman of the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Hon. Christopher Zakka Maikalangu, has directed the immediate withdrawal of the radio and television tax imposed on residential houses within the area council.

The decision followed widespread concerns and outcries from residents who expressed dissatisfaction with the new levy.

The directive was announced in a statement released by Kingsley Madaki, the senior special assistant on Media and Public Affairs to the AMAC chairman. In the statement, the chairman emphasised his administration’s commitment to listening to the people and ensuring that policies reflect the needs and welfare of residents.

Maikalangu clarified that the initial rollout of the radio-TV tax was intended to generate revenue for the council’s developmental projects, including the provision of basic amenities, infrastructure, and the improvement of community facilities.

However, he acknowledged that the timing and implementation of the tax required broader stakeholder engagement and adequate publicity.

“In response to the feedback, the chairman instructed the council’s Revenue Department to suspend all collection of the radio-TV taxes from residential houses immediately and withdraw any demand notices already served to them,” the statement read.

He also ordered a review of the tax policy to ensure transparency and fairness.

“Going forward, the AMAC administration will focus the radio-television taxes solely on commercial establishments, such as hotels, restaurants, business premises, and other offices, where the levy can be justified as a contribution to the council’s service delivery without burdening individual households,” Maikalangu stated.

The chairman reiterated his administration’s dedication to fostering a conducive environment for both residents and businesses, urging the public to continue partnering with the council in its development initiatives.

He also called on residents to remain vigilant and proactive in sharing their views on policies that affect their daily lives.

“The council will be disseminating detailed guidelines on the revised tax policy through official channels, including the council’s website, social media platforms, and community town-hall meetings, to ensure clarity and avoid any misunderstandings,” he stated.

Maikalangu thanked the residents for their constructive engagement and assured them that the council remains committed to delivering quality services while upholding the principles of fairness, accountability, and sustainable development.
