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

Why not fix all the internal Federal roads that are in shambles first before embarking on this white elephant project?

It will be called Rich men's road, I wonder if private vehicles will think of using the road, but commercial vehicles only have to increase transport fare and use it.

The road is not for people like you. If you're still giving police N500, thats your cup of tea and ur problem. The Army , Navy and others including agberos you mentioned do not ask for money. If you've got nothing serious to say, just keep quiet. It's that simple.
KillIgbohoN0W:
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

What is the purpose of tax in the first place? You are building road with taxpayers money and insisting on tolling same road. These people have no business in government. Dumbos

Then trust nigerians....they will prefer using the old sagamu-ore-benin-asaba-onitsha down to portharcourt to calabar.

Do the minister know how many tolls gate that will be mounted? Let him multiple N1500 x 20 tolls and see if it worth the journey.
Let them stop playing with our intelligence, after all the road will be built with tax payers money!

He is the boss. Gangsters only knows tax and levy... I am sure they would be paying to his company years after leaving office.

Only private cars (and those useless truck companies) that would suffer. Commercial buses would transfer the charges to their customers.

You use our money to build road then you ask me to pay toll. How much are you charging for Ksno Maradi?

Zulu11zulu:
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
You will heal his malady when the project starts I think...

Re: Coastal Road: FG To Charge N3,000 On Average Per Toll Gate, Says Umahi by BarrElChapo(m):
Dave Umahi boldly said on nationalTv that the total cost for Lagos-Calabar coastal highway is about N15.6 trillion ($13 billion)!!! For a 700 kilometres road!

Africa’s longest highway which links Cairo to Cape Town cost Egypt $1.6 billion for 1,156 Kilometres within its border.
