It's to organize the collection process to make it more structured so that those collecting dues will not be running after vehicles because I can't do not run after me MBA do not run after lawyers. So we have come together to say that we want to put in a structure of the collection process so that we can improve the look and feel of our transport sector want to reduce the multiplicity of taxes and people have complained a lot you know we pay parking fees you pay motor fees you pay this and you know and all sort of taxes dues and levies either due to government or association this consolidated informal transport sector levy would consolidate all taxes all dues all levies due to government and association bodies. In addition to this we have seen some people they are not local government staff they are non-national they are not wrote they are called or no agents you see them flagging their stick they collect money all recited so if anybody say I pay three thousand I pay a thousand they might not be lying we have not sat down how do we do when I say okay if you're taking off from Badakri just collect this 800 naira if you like go to Ikorodu 20 times once you flash that a drum naira nobody in Ikorodu we have to pay another government levy again.
