A Suggestion To The Lagos State Government Concerning Tax Collection In Markets. by Nobody: 9:11pm On Oct 19, 2022
The root cause of most market clashes in markets like alaba, computer village and mile 12 is largely on the issue of taxes and levy collection by state and the local govt were the markets are. I don't know what led to the recent clash in alaba but I suspect it's largely due to tax collection issues. I'd go straight to the point by suggesting and giving my opinion on how the Lagos State government avoid such market conflicts.

1. Document and have a database of all shop owners and their registered businesses in these markets.

2. Ban illegal stands in these markets.

3. Develop a smart and digital payment solution whereby all state, local govt and traditional taxes and levies are can be paid. Outlaw the use of agberos.

4. Jail term and loss of shop for Tax defaulters.

Basically the use of agberos, is outdated and largely disorganized leading to unnecessary clashes.

You want Tinubu to outlaw Agbero. Think again. "Lagos is the largest and most most expensive SLUM in the world" - Citibank, Johanesburg and EIU
