Anambra state Governor Charles Soludo has announced the end to taxes imposed on
wheelbarrow pushers, vulcanizers, hawkers and some other blue-collar job holders in the state.

The Governor said this during his address to residents of the state at the second phase of the open bidding for revenue concessions at the Government House Awka.

He also cautioned the market unions to cease and desist from harassing the market women else they will be dissolved if found guilty.

He said;

“Wheelbarrow pushers must not pay any fee in the state. Vulcanizers operating along the road should also cease paying any fee to anyone. Hawkers shouldn’t pay any fees. These poor people should stop being harassed.

“This message is for the Market unions. If they are found with any evidence, that union will be dissolved with immediate effect. We want to build a society where the poor feel empowered and where the rich can get more resources to create wealth and employment.”
