Council spokesperson, Michael Chideme said the extension will end on November 30.
He said commercial enterprises owed the city $278 million.
“Non-payment of the debt is negatively affecting service delivery which has prompted the city to extend the 50% discount window period to the business sector which was previously not covered under the previous campaign,” Chideme said.
