Members of the Joint Tax Board (JTB) have commended the Lagos State Government for its investment in modern rail transport following a tour of the Lagos Blue Line Rail.
The tour formed part of activities marking the 159th JTB meeting, with the delegation led by the Chairman of the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS), Ayo Subair.
The team rode the Blue Line from Marina to Mile 2 to assess the system firsthand, describing the rail project as a model of safe, efficient, and affordable public transportation, noting its positive impact on the quality of life of residents.
Subair said the project highlights the benefits of tax compliance, stressing that it serves as clear evidence of how taxpayers’ contributions are being transformed into people-oriented infrastructure.
He added that such developments reinforce public trust and underscore the importance of consistent revenue generation for sustainable growth.
The Joint Tax Board, which coordinates tax administration across federal and state authorities, plays a key role in promoting fiscal alignment and supporting national development.
