Cashew farmers and buyers in Kogi State, under the aegis of the Farmers Forum of Nigeria (FFN), have called on Governor Usman Ododo to intervene over their alleged multiple taxation and extortion.
The forum in a statement by its spokesperson, Ibrahim Adam, on Monday, alleged that agents of the state government planned to increase the produce payment on cashews from ₦30,000 to ₦90,000.
Mr Adam appealed to the governor to halt multiple taxation in the state, adding that the move would impede the growth of the economy and turn Kogi into a laughing stock
