The Federal Government has initiated tolling operations on the 227.2km Abuja–Keffi–Akwanga–Lafia–Makurdi Highway, implementing a cashless collection system. This move aims to generate revenue for the maintenance and expansion of road infrastructure, as well as to repay the $460.8 million loan secured from China Exim Bank for the road's rehabilitation and upgrade.

The tolling system features four toll stations located at Keffi, Akwanga, Lafia, and Makurdi. Toll fees are structured as follows:

Saloon Cars: ₦500
SUVs/Jeeps: ₦800
Minibuses: ₦1,000
Multi-Axle Vehicles: ₦1,600
Frequent road users, such as commercial light vehicles, are eligible for a 50% discount. Additionally, certain vehicles, including security, diplomatic, ambulances, tricycles, motorcycles, and other two or three-wheeled transport modes primarily used by disadvantaged populations, are exempt from toll fees.

The cashless tolling system is part of the Highway Development and Management Initiative (HDMI), designed to promote a sustainable transportation ecosystem. A committee has been established to develop the implementation framework, focusing on creating a comprehensive master plan to achieve the economic and social goals of the initiative.

The Federal Government encourages Nigerians to embrace this initiative, highlighting its role in facilitating road maintenance and contributing to economic growth.

The tolling is for the maintenance of the same road. You don't expect government to still be budgeting for that road maintenance

Will there be an accountability for it?

Won't they still Syphon the money?

This is the same government that said there's no money and they removed subsidy, but went ahead to be buying jets and increase the number of people in the kitchen cabinet
