Ekundayo who lauded the developmental programmes embarked upon by Aregbesola’s administration, especially in the education sector however appealed to government not to relent in providing qualitative education for the students as promised in his Six Point Integral Action Plans.
Reacting, the Chairman of State Internal Revenue Service, Mr. Dayo Oyabanji expressed happiness with the support of the PTA, promising that government would not relent in ensuring good standard of living and better education for the pupils.
Oyebanji noted that the government introduced tax bonanza to make it payment affordable and serve as relief adding that at the expiration of the bonanza period, each parent would have to pay that according to their earnings as enunciated by the tax law.
