The Federal Government has imposed generator tax on Abuja business owners. The government said this in order to cub environmental pollution caused by the use of generators.
According to them generators and other industrial machines pollute the environment and pose harm and danger to people living in the federal Capital Territory.
An annual levy has been imposed on banks, industries and ware houses using generators.
A notice signed by the director of Public Health of AMAC, Ahmed Haruna, stated that the levy was for discharging harmful substances from generators.
