Niger Govt bans tax on hawkers, petty traders

In an effort to alleviate the financial burden on small-scale traders, the Niger State Government has officially banned the taxation of hawkers and petty traders across the state.

The decision was announced by the state governor, Mohammed Umaru Bago, while speaking to journalists at the Government House in Minna.

According to him, the state operates a centralised tax system that exempts all hawkers and petty traders.

The governor stated: “We have observed with dismay how petty traders and hawkers are being exploited through multiple taxes.

“As a government, we have resolved that, henceforth, no trader—no petty trader—should be taxed.

“Hawkers and petty traders are tax-free in Niger State. Anyone found imposing taxes on them will be dealt with decisively for extortion.”

In light of this, Bago directed local government council chairmen and councillors to take note and ensure that such practices cease with immediate effect.
