Bago halts tax on hawkers, petty traders in Niger
Niger State Governor, farmer Mohammed Umaru Bago has banned the taxing of hawkers and petty traders across the State.
The Governor announced this on Tuesday while speaking to newsmen at the Government House in Minna, the State capital.
Bago, who noted that petty traders are being exploited with tax, said that Local Government Council Chairmen and councilors should take note and ensure that such practices stop with immediate effect.
He disclosed that the state has a centralized tax system that has exempted all hawkers and petty traders.
“According to the farmer Governor, “We have observed with dismay how petty traders and hawkers are being exploited with multiple taxes”.
“As a government, we have resolved that henceforth, no trader, no petty trader, should be taxed.”
“Hawkers and petty traders are tax-free in Niger State. Anybody found taxing them will be dealt with decisively for extortion,” he said.
