The Federal Government on Tuesday said it is working to remove multiple taxation on roads to promote free movement of goods within the country. The government said that multiple taxation on roads was against ECOWAS rules and regulations. Sambo said, “We’re working on that because multiple taxation on our roads is against ECOWAS rules of free movement of goods. After the last road monitoring exercise, the notes are yet to come in full, but we will discuss with the state commissioners of transport the issue of multiple taxation. We want to plead that, in as much as, we cannot stop night journeys, you should advise your men that if you can avoid doing this (night journeys), please do.
