Lagos Assembly Orders LGs To Stop Extorting Courier Operators, Dispatch Riders by iwaeda: 7:33pm On Jun 28, 2021 |
The Lagos House of Assembly, on Monday, ordered Local Government Councils to stop extorting operators of courier and logistics services. This followed a debate on the forceful obtainment of money from dispatch riders and delivery vehicles. The Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa stressed that area councils have no powers to impose tax or levy on companies. Obasa said the power of the councils was limited to registration of motorcycles and tricycles as dictated by the Nigerian constitution. He condemned the cases of harrasment, and admitted that such acts were against government’s policy on ease of doing business. Courier services to get independent regulator – NIPOST “We have to make them understand that going out to disturb organised businesses that create employment for our youths and graduates is not good at all. “The services of courier services reduce poverty in the state. How much do they even charge? Local governments have nothing to do with the registration of motorcycles and tricycles. “Operators of courier and logistics services should not be made to pay in all the local governments considering what they charge for their services”, Obasa warned. The House told local government councils to be aware of their limitations and desist from using touts and street urchins to collect illegal revenues. The Lagos Assembly directed the Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu to ensure that all extortionists are apprehended and prosecuted. https://dailypost.ng/2021/06/28/lagos-assembly-orders-lgs-to-stop-extorting-courier-operators-dispatch-riders/amp/? |

That is the terrible nature of Lagos and the retrogressive "owo mi da" system it runs. They want to obtain everything they can lay their hands on. You can't even take it upon yourself as a concerned citizen to fix a bad road in your neighbourhood without first giving the contract to the chairman of the area and then settling other chairmen and omoniles as well. Men that will not lift a finger themselves to do anything about the same bad road they pass through everyday. destructive mentalities. |
