The Abuja Inquirer in January reported that fraudsters and touts had hijack revenue collection in the territory, following the failure to reach an agreement on best practices for seamless tax collection on outdoor advertisement in the FCT.

Often times, businesses operating in the city center have had to face issues of multiple taxation as they have to pay taxes on mobile advert to the FCT DOAS, and the AMAC.

Only last Wednesday, the AMAC, taskforce for revenue monitoring, inspection and enforcement, arrested 13 “illegal revenue collectors.”

However, Comr. Victor Ezanagu, last week, urged the National Assembly to fast-track the establishment of an agency for outdoor advertisement and signage so as to properly institutionalize its mode of operations.

The student leader believe this would free its operations from external interference and end the long standing battle between the area councils and DOAS.

He dismissed the call for the disbandment of DOAS, as such an action would return the FCT to the days of multi-taxation and proliferation and unprofessional activities of advert revenue collectors.
