The Federal Government will charge N3,000 on average per toll gate when the Lagos-Calabar coastal road is completed.

Nigeria’s Minister of Works Dave Umahi confirmed the figure on Thursday when he was featured on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief.

Let me leave out the infrastructure along the corridor. Let me just concentrate on the tolls and I put 50,000 vehicles as an average passage on these toll points per day,” Umahi said on the breakfast show.

I put N3,000 as an average cost. N3,000 because the cars could be like N1,500, and the big trucks could be like N5,000,” he said. “So, we put an average”.

In 15 years, you make back the money,” he said, dismissing calls that the cost budgeted for the road was high.

According to him, there will be security at the toll gates and also some facilities like filling stations.

“At every point of tolling, we also have toll station where we have a kind of relief activities: the restaurants, filling stations, parking lots, and so on and so forth,” Umahi said.

“So, people will now have confidence. In these sections, we intend to put CCTV all through.”

you will drive alone with your master in that road. From Lagos to Calaba you will have about 8 toll gate 3000 x 8. Each state will have two toll one from end to end.

Umehi is mad

HE Engr Dave Umahi is gradually telling Nigerians the truth,if you look at all major roads in Nigeria I sincerely believe at some point we will have to consider the tolling option for all new infrastructure being built.The East West Road,the Lagos to Calabar Road,the Second Niger bridge,the Kaduna to Kano Highway are routes that we have to look at options of maintaining those roads outside Government funding
As for the pricing,I believe we will cross the bridge when we get there.
Once again, I sincerely salute the tenacity of the Minister,he is truly a Round peg in a Round hole and I believe some ministers in this administration need to visit HE Engr Dave Umahi to understand their job description.
I don't want to mention names,but I am sure that there are ministers who are yet to understand what exactly they are doing in this cabinet

For those who sincerely desire good investment on the Lagos Calabar Super Highway, kindly check my signature for more details

The moment you start supporting Thief'nubu, you subconsciously transform yourself to a mad man and develop a hunch to talk without thinking.

Umahi of all people is now talking like a typical thièfnubu's idiot on expired kolos.

That's my choice which you are not in any position to question same way I can't question why you are supporting Peter Obi another non criminal with no legacy of achievements.

Tinubu wants Nigerians to bleed to death at any opportunity he wants to suffocate them to death
No respite at all
But Nigerian deserves what they are getting for being docile,too accommodating of useless leaders and having limitless elasticity for tolerating nonsense

Increase it to 10k although all these agbadorians don't even have keke. We have saganmu -ore- Benin higway that is one of the busiest and one of the most economic viable road looking like a death trap.

N3000 x 25 toll gates = N75,000
N500 x 15 Police checkpoints = N7,500
N500 x 10 Army checkpoints = N5,000
N500 x 5 Navy checkpoints = N2,500
N2,000 x 15 FRSC checkpoints = N30,000
N1,000 x 5 NSCDC checkpoints = N5,000
N5,000 x 5 Militants checkpoints = N25,000
N1,000 x 10 South West Agbero roadblocks = N10,000

Total =N160,000 for 1 trip from Lagos-Calabar.
Note: Estimates are exclusive of fuel and vehicle repairs cost




Make I jejely fly abeg.

People don't read.

I support everything if they can execute this project perfectly. It will drastically reduce travel time and also save gasoline. However, after such tolls I hope police checkpoints won't flood the highway
