FG To Reintroduce Toll Gates Over Bad Roads by memud6: 1:57am On Oct 28, 2013 |
Against the backdrop of deteriorating Federal roads nationwide, the Federal Government may have decided to reintroduce tolling on its highways, to raise money to fix the roads. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/10/bad-roads-fg-reintroduce-toll-gates/ |

I thought they call Fashola "the hater of the poor" for creating toll booths in Lagos. So FG also hates the poor with the intention of erecting toll gates on federal roads. Well......... it is the right thing to do. It is done in most of the developed countries I have been to. 2 Likes |

Well......... it is the right thing to do. It is done in most of the developed countries I have been to. Did the PDP FG not spend millions to pull down all toll gates a few years ago? Now, they will spend 10times more to rebuild it all again and the roads will be as bad as it was before? What happened to SURE-P? The money they are getting from there is not enough? I think all State governments should reject this directionless initiative and tell the FG to hand over the roads to the respective state governments. Let the state governments be responsible for all roads within their states and if there must be toll gates, let it be within the state so that if the state governments collect tolls and the road is bad, the government house / office is only minutes away where the people can go directly to their governors and drag him to the road to fix it himself! 5 Likes |

Sloan: FG is in a tough situation when it comes to revenue. Nigeria is broke and FG won't admit it. They have no money to finance the roads. The intention of FG is to give these roads out to private firms. Nigerians will be at the mercy of these firms with exorbitant toll fees. It is an open secret that FG is currently spending more than it is bringing in. One has to wonder why FG wants independent tax collectors out of business. The next thing we will be seeing is FG embarking on massive loans to finance the country's day to day activities. 2 Likes |

Like the govt will see a penny of what they collect. That is if the tool booth workers make it home alive. Soft target for armed bandits. |

This is another avenue to extort money from poor,innocent and poverty-stricken Nigerians all in the name of developing our roads. The Federal Government can't be trusted. 1 Like |

Am sorry to say that this administration is in total confusion. What happened to the so called SURE-P that is tasked with such responsibilities? FG removal of fuel subsidy was preached by the economy coordinating minister to tackle such issues when nigerians were out protesting on the streets. Today that money cant manage our roads. We are in serious trouble caused by this planless and un- coordinated govt. |

you're right, the roads got worse when the tolls were removed. Fashola's toll is in order, even the badagry road being expanded will be tolled on the expressway leaving service lane free for those who don't want to pay toll. My problem with the tolling is the amount charged and the frequency of the toll gates. payless: I thought they call Fashola "the hater of the poor" for creating toll booths in Lagos. So FG also hates the poor with the intention of erecting toll gates on federal roads. Well......... it is the right thing to do. It is done in most of the developed countries I have been to. |

Excellent idea,....We all know that Nigerians dont mess with their private business so the solution is privatisation,....some people say its a avenue to extort the masses but i think if you can put a car on a major highway to travel,fuel the car,even buy different snacks and food on the way then a toll of 100 or 200 naira should not be your problem full stop,... 1 Like |

I know you're a child, but those of us who are old enough remember that Obasanjo scrapped the toll gates as a concession to increasing the fuel price. Can you now explain why - with no commensurate reduction in pump price - are the tollgates coming back? It's not about what money 'is your problem'. it's about not being unfairly asked to pay. Anyway, to borrow your words, if the FG is able to put together billions of naira on political jamborees and a harebrained plan to spend tens of billions on a centenary celebration next year, putting together billions of naira to fix the roads shouldn't be their problem. 3 Likes |

Well......... it is the right thing to do It is done in most of the developed countries I have been to. @ bolde: It ISN'T. Nigeria has peculiarities which exempts it from this excuse principal of which money from a certain region (the Niger Delta) have been siphone through sham contracts to repair such roads. Why will our money be wasted enter the pocket of a few and we all are expected to pat for the govt ineptitude. |
