The residents’ lawyer say the council area impose an average tenement charge of N140,000 on 'mere two-bedroom flats'.

“That you cause the said director to refrain from retrospective charges – . The demand notices were issued this year though backdated to 2019, such is totally unacceptable.

“That you also make efforts to fulfil your promises to work on their road so as to boost the confidence of the residents in your leadership,” the estate residents’ lawyer wrote.The aggrieved residents appealed to the council chairman to review the collection of tenement charges in line with statutory provisions.

“Since this estate was built, there has never been a valuation of properties exercise by the Bwari Area Council as required by law. “We are not opposed to the payment of tenement charges, but the rates have to as stipulated in the Area Council bye-law,” Mr Ifeanyi said. Residents cited the provision of the Tenement Rate Collection Bye-Law 2016, which stipulates that “valuation office shall carry out assessment of all rateable properties in the Area Council.”Another issue in contention said to be in breach of the law is the levying of individual occupants of a property instead of imposing only one charge on a property.
