Traders and commercial drivers in Enugu State have staged a protest over rising taxes and the increasing cost of fuel, calling on the state government to review the financial burden on businesses and transport operators.
The protesters reportedly expressed concerns about multiple levies and the impact of higher fuel prices on the cost of transportation and everyday goods.
Commercial drivers said the rising cost of fuel has increased their operating expenses, while traders complained that additional taxes and levies are making it increasingly difficult to run their businesses.
The protesters called for greater transparency in the collection of taxes and levies, as well as measures to reduce the economic pressure on residents and business owners.
The development comes amid broader concerns over the rising cost of living and the effects of increased transportation and operating costs on households and businesses.
Authorities are expected to engage with representatives of the traders and transport operators to address their concerns and seek possible solutions.
