Mini truck operators are to pay 3,750 naira weekly, while motorcycle operators will now pay 4000 naira, amounting to 1000 naira weekly.

Also suspended was payment of tolls, taxes and levies by heavy duty vehicle operators across the state.

The Governor explained that while his team goes back to the drawing board, the move of suspending the payment is to ensure that nobody is taxed twice.

He added that to eliminate operation of touts on the roads, daily collection for other taxes and levies is not an option.

The Governor explained that his administration is determined to have a tax system that is progressive, such that it will reflect the yearnings of the poor and common man in line with APGA ideals.

He called on everyone to join hands with his administration to keep the state secure, clean, prosperous and liveable.
