this concession will only work if reputable firms like Julius berger, setraco,Arab contractors,dangote construction, craneburg ,mtn or the banks in Nigeria get the roads.

if in the usual Nigerian way the roads gets run by firms like Intel, OUK's zeerock or HITECH of Lagos, then it's corruption and bad roads all over again

You keep missing the point...the impact is insignificant, it's not fuel...the value each transportation bus conveys runs in the millions sometimes, on a trip, the value the heavy duty vehicles convey is in tens of millions. Government earns taxes via commercial activities...N2000 per trip tolling cost, can not make any significant difference in the profit margins of the transporters or distributors of the commodities being conveyed, while the managers of the tolling point, will have a sizeable amount of money to provide the services I mentioned earlier. Service is important. let's be reasonable. Highway tollgate is fine and reasonable, not inner city or metropolis tolling. Western nations also have highway toll points.

You’ve made salient points but they are not Nigeria-centric. Government can take charge of major industries for national development. But reality now is we the citizens have resolved to helping ourselves out with these amenities

According to the report, if I am travelling from Lagos to owerri a distance of 538km , I will pay toll in Benin to asaba, asaba to onitsha via the new constructed bridge and finally pay toll from onitsha to owerri.

But my good friend shehu will leave same Lagos to Kano about 987km but will only pay toll between lokoja to Abuja.

You see why some of us feel Nigeria is full of injustice.

All dual carriage roads in Nigeria will be tolled!
Is it that Nigerians listen selectively to news?

Can't you air your opinions without being vulgar...

It's better to be thought of as fxxl due to your silence than to confirm it with your statement.

Says a dunce who claims there are other motorable and secure alternative toll-free express roads in my state.
