He also vowed to be the voice of market women in Lagos .
“I will be the voice of the Lagos market women”, he said adding that in a typical Lagos market, market women are subjected to an illegal fee of N1000 per day before they could display their wares for sale.
“ This illegal revenue with no proof of official receipt go directly into the coffers of the local government authority completely unaccounted for.
“ Current policies have grayed out what used to be clear distinction between taxation and regulation which have in turn created more hardship for the common market person.
“ I share their concerns and I have assured them that I am their voice”, he said.
