Some traders at the popular Oshodi Market, on Thursday identified multiple taxation, absence of parking space and threats by touts as some of pressing challenges facing traders in the market.
“All we see in the market is various taxes that we don’t even understand, and you honestly can’t challenge them, you just have to pay. “I can spend N10,000 in a day, what they should have done is to assess your store and see how much it is worth. A market woman, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told NAN that touts, known as “area boys“, reign in the market with so much impunity.“We can’t talk about this, because our lives will be in danger. Do you know that in this market, area boys can just walk into your shop and pick anything that they like and nothing will happen.
