Wheelbarrow pushers, vulcanizers, hawkers, and other people who work in low-paying jobs in the Anambra State no longer have to pay any taxes, according to Governor Charles Soludo.
The governor made the announcement while speaking to residents of the state at the Government House Awka during the second phase of open bidding for revenue concessions.
According to Gov Soludo, poor people in the society should feel empowered and not be harassed, threatening that and market union which disobeys his orders will be immediately dissolved.
He said, “Wheelbarrow pushers must not pay any fee in the state. Vulcanizers operating along the road should also cease paying any fee to anyone. Hawkers shouldn’t pay any fees. These poor people should stop being harassed.
“This message is for the Market unions. If they are found with any evidence, that union will be dissolved with immediate effect. We want to build a society where the poor feel empowered and where the rich can get more resources to create wealth and employment.”
