OBJ spent billions of Naira to demolish the toll gate even when he was adviced to leave the tolls like that
Now, GEJ want to rebuild it with billions of naira
infact, Nigeria ruler are Idiots

logica:

Toll-gates should only be built to charge trailers and lorries for now; as far as I'm concerned they are the ones causing major damage to highways. This will force haulage companies to actually start considering rail as a better option. Tolling cars should come much later; not now.

Pukkah:

I agree with the introduction of toll gates but there must be conditions:

1.  The road to be tolled must be smooth and not have potholes.  It should also be wide enough for the envisaged traffic on it.
2.  The road to be tolled must have emergency accident points.
3.  The road to be tolled must have police patrol teams and FRSC men.
4.  The road to be tolled must have functional street lights.
5.  The road to be tolled must have roads markings and road signs.
6.  The road to be tolled must not have trailers and trucks parked indiscriminately on them.
7. The bushes in the median of the road to be tolled must be well-cut and maintained.   You Honestly think THIS president will do this?

These are the minimum standards that I expect before government goes ahead to toll any road. In fact, government should first rehabilitate these roads (put them in the conditions described above) and hand over collection of tolls and first class road maintenance to private companies.  If not, the proceeds from the toll would likely be embezzled and the people will bear the brunt.

Government should also implement emission rules for our vehicles in Nigeria. There are many instances of old, smoky and clanging vehicles emitting dangerous and thick clouds of smoke on our roads.

Even though I am vehemently opposed to anything called subsidy removal, we need the toll gates back.

My only problem is whether it will happen the old ways when for example, a car that should pay N20, will run through the N50 toll gate and drop the money with speed and take off with the collusion of the toll collectors. I saw this in operation in 1997 and I was truly shocked by it.

I wish Our leaders should just stick to a clear road-map. Cant they just make up their minds on a clear policy?. I am getting sick of Nigeria story.

munaco:

i just hope one day the unemployed youth will know what we (all) are doing to ourself. libya did it, Algeria did it, ivory coast did it. why is Nigeria exceptional.we do not need above 6oyears old or a former minister in power any more. have a youth association since the labour union is dancing to there music. we are a total disgrace as a country.
