News/Events » FOR HOW LONG WILL LAGOS DRIVERS CONTINUE TO PROTEST INCREASED AGBERO TAXES ? by: Obajichi(f) .:. Wed, 29 Mar, 2023 - 04:23:04:pm GMT
Commercial drivers plying the Oshodi- Tollgate route in Lagos State have embarked on a strike over increasing taxes levied on them by agberos.
The drivers are protesting against the agbero taxes which increased from #20,000 per day to #25,000 ( How exorbitant ) !
One of the drivers lamented that the agberos keep burdening the drivers to pay the illegal taxes .
They drivers lamented that whenever they refused to pay, the agberos would destroy their vehicles.
According to one of the drivers, the taxes were not but varies based on the commands of the agbero lords .
They believe they are intimidated because the agberos think they are helpless and that even when the drivers set out to work in the afternoon , the agberos would demand that they complete the taxes for the day.
The unfortunate question they are asking is : How much would the drivers and conductors take home since working either in the afternoon or evening would still attract complete levies for the day ?
This will also affect the cost of transportation and the masses would have to bear the brunt of it all .
How long would these drivers continue to endure this hardship and protest against this inhumane treatment ?
**I love being me.**
