The group known as Joint Mobile Sanitation Agency of Nigeria (JOMSAN) has held a workshop in Abuja to inform members on its preparedness to stop multiple mobile tax collection across the country.
Dukeson Godwin, national chairman of JOMSAN, an umbrella body of local councils mobile advertisement revenue collectors, said the group, which is voluntary and independent of government, observed that advertisement-bearing vehicles were being made to pay multiple taxes in all 774 local government councils of the country and this should be discouraged.

Partnering with the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) and the National Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), JOMSAN is ready to ensure the success of this recent initiative.

Backed by the police, the group’s task force in the six geo-political zones would enforce the new directive, and once a vehicle bearing mobile advertisement paid the requisite tax at any a local government, such could henceforth travel through remaining local governments without paying additional tax.

To conclude, Godwin said “Wherever a driver bearing mobile advertisement on his vehicle is harassed after paying his mobile tax, such should call designated phone numbers of the task force, which will promptly arrest and prosecute the culprits accordingly.”
