Price Hike: Ondo Monarch Bans Forced Association Membership On Traders by peekspot(op): 12:09pm On Apr 28, 2024
The Osemawe of Ondo Kingdom in Ondo State, Oba Victor Kiladejo has ordered the prohibition of the idea of traders being forced to join associations in the kingdom

Oba Kiladejo gave the order, through the Osemawe-in-Council, as part of the efforts to reduce the prices of food and commodities and services.

The order was part of the resolutions adopted by Osemawe in Council at the stakeholders and youth meeting held at Palace Hall, Ondo town, Ondo State on Wednesday.

The resolutions were contained in a statement from the Ondo Ekinmogun Youth Congress on Saturday, issued by Kayode Igbekoyi on behalf of the President of the group, Comrade Kayode Folajogun.

According to the statement, the resolutions read that “imposition of association membership of any kind on traders is prohibited in Ondo kingdom. Ondo markets are declared free and open for every legal trader and traders in legal items or wares from other communities, towns or states can trade freely in Ondo kingdom.

“All moribund and abandoned community markets e.g Odosida, Okelisa, Ayeyemi, Akinjagunla, Igba, Oka, and Odojomu including neighbourhood markets should be revamped, steps being taken to create more alternative markets like Shasha, Kara ( in Ondo) should be expedited ”

In the resolutions, the council asked any seller or trader who felt threatened while selling her goods in Ondo to call the concerned constituted authorities, Iyaloja or youth president and also that Iyaloja should make necessary publicity concerning the resolutions of market women on Osemawe’s directive.

The Osemawe-in-Council also warned that any fuel station selling above the approved pump price or exorbitant cost would be sealed off and that collection of extra charges on transactions done on any company’s POS machine, especially fuel stations is cancelled forthwith.

It said, “Strict measures would be taken against any fuel station especially independent marketers who hoard fuel and dupe buyers and Ondo residents by selling inaccurate meter measures, hat steps being taken by Ondo kingdom through the Osemawe in council to upgrade Agbogboke Injector transformer would be accelerated and that “Ondo youths should be empowered to engage in agriculture and trading that could lead to the amelioration of current economic hardships being witnessed in Ondo kingdom and Nigeria at large ”

The council frowned at the alleged bad conduct of some local government officials extorting goods motor drivers coming into Ondo markets and market women by extension and ordered for its stoppage forthwith.

The statement added that the intelligence and community task force team would be out to see to the implementation of the resolutions.

Due to the removal of fuel subsidies and the depreciation of the naira, there has been a consistent increase in food prices nationwide in recent times.

Associations and union of various types are mostly established to inflict pains on people and for selfish interest

Okay
Re: Price Hike: Ondo Monarch Bans Forced Association Membership On Traders by CodeTemplar: 12:21pm On Apr 28, 2024
I hope this helps. The core job of those associations is price fixing.
That's why 100 people can comfortably be in the business retailing and selling tomatoes when just 10 people can do it. The whole 100 instead of sharing the fixed profit will fix prices to accommodate their needs financially.

This is why pure water can sell for N20 in Yobe but N30 in Ondo where materials are cheaper and more abundant.

How will it be implemented?
Re: Price Hike: Ondo Monarch Bans Forced Association Membership On Traders by DatNaijaGuy: 12:23pm On Apr 28, 2024
I wish same thing will be done in Benin City, Edo State. Every demonic trade union should be dismantled. That's where they come into agreement to exploit the people.
You can't sell common pepper and crayfish without being in their evil union.

the problem with market and traders associations is not the registration fees they collect from members but the fact that they control the prices of goods they sell. they tell their members not to sell goods below a certain price. they regulate price at which goods are sold

Associated like these are suppose to protect the group from Hash government policies but in Nigeria it has turn to something else.

They fix price and force members to implement it, the worst part is, you will be forced to join whether you like it or not.

Good initiative, I wish the governments could also do this. They are the ones causing inflation in the nation. Mandating price at wish you must sell your market or render services

This is also needed in Ikare Akoko. These associations are adding more labour/cost on the buyers
