Niger State Environmental Protection Agency Clarifies Position on Petty Traders' Tax Allegations.
The Niger State Environmental Protection Agency (NSEPA) has denied allegations of imposing a ₦100,800 tax on petty traders, calling the claim "completely untrue.
The agency has a established system for categorizing businesses and defining levies, which doesn't arbitrarily target petty traders.
An automated billing system is in place, but it doesn't apply to petty traders.
The "Pay-as-you-throw" initiative supports petty traders, allowing them to buy litter bags for ₦150 for safe waste disposal.
Non-compliance with the initiative may lead to incorrect billing; petty traders receiving erroneous bills should scan their barcodes for clarification.
The agency criticizes misinformation spread and urges responsible reporting, reassuring citizens of its commitment to transparency and fairness
