At toll gates, all the security agents are usually there......so what other checkpoint is more than a toll gate?
Wrong again. Years of military rule has given you a warped ideology. There are smart toll gates. Just buy the card and swipe.

WhiteRacist:
its very clear to all that black people no matter who they are or where they are from Cant run no nation. anything they touch dies.

the things done by the white before they left. all of it dies as well just after the white left. the problem of Africa is not corruption but low IQ. the average black man it doesn't matter the education they all have low IQ.
you've said it all, sad but true.

They want to find this money by all means. Doesn't this amount to Double-Taxing of individuals. I pay tax, you use it to build roads and still ask me to pay before plying it.

[quote author=Tolexander post=60835624]Obasanjo did the scrapping then, and introduced a N1.5 levy on every liter of petrol bought as substitute.

Citing the amount toll gates were generating was too small compared to the amount meant for the maintenance of roads and the money not reaching the government.
He also said these toll gates have outlived their purpose and also causing accident and delay.
[APC Government also added about #11 on every liter of fuel ⛽ we buy SPECIFICALLY for roads repair and maintenance nationwide. We demand for accountability from this wicked governments ]

In that case, it becomes a check point or border post. Don't mix it up. Do a little research.
Re: FG To Reintroduce Tolls On Federal Highways by ITbomb(m): 8:58am On Sep 26, 2017
So how about the N1.5 on fuel prices that Obasanjo introduced to replace the toll gates, will it be removed?

If they don't, this is double taxation and must be stalled

Re: FG To Reintroduce Tolls On Federal Highways by 989900: 9:00am On Sep 26, 2017
1. Concession all commercially viable federal roads to private companies for rehabilitation and construction of new ones.

2. Let them roads be maintained and funded by toll fees.

3. Make provision for private citizens to be able to buy 'limited shares' in these companies.

4. Let ministry of works perform only oversight duties on these roads to make sure they are always in top shape.

5. Let the ministry concentrate funds on improving our state and local roads:
A. $20b is too little to fund adequate Infrastructure for 200 million people when a country like Qatar with 2.5 m population runs a $55b budget, or South Africa 55m population with $90b budget.

B. The local and state governments fly below the radar 'chopping' monies meant for these projects.

C. We spend more time on these inner roads damaging our cars and wasting time.

D. Them federal highways deathtraps can now become highways with lower avoidable incidents -- of course you get what you pay for.

Personally, I won't want to pay for a Range Rover only to be given a Toyota Yaris.

That's the only thing this failure of a minister knows how to do, and that's the only change this demonic party called APC knows how to implement, electricity tarrifs were raised without stable electricity, TSA was fully implemented, subsidy was removed, taxes were increased, deductions made from bank transactions, billions recovered by EFCC, highest budget so far in the history of the country, astronomical increase in both foreign and domestic debts and now they want to start collecting tolls on the highways, yet no visible project to commusurate these heavy funds, electricity is highly erratic with their propaganda generation, Nigerians, enjoy the change you voted for.

Fashola is simply a failure no matter how you look at it. He likes making life more difficult for the poor masses he did this in his second term as gov of Lagos. You don't need any toll gates to maintain any road. This govt said they will remove subsidy so they can use the money garnered to develop existing roads and build new road projects that was their promise. How can we all pay through our nose all the time and still we have not enjoy what they took the subsidy for?

Fashola lack foresight he should be remove. He always have something to say, Fashola is only full of theories he can't and won't perform since two years no practical from Fashola only theories and he always have ways of using big grammar and figures in defence of what he has done or intend to do simply to deceive us. We don't want no grammar we want practical achievements, he has none yet.

kingphilip:
I think the government should go by this because i don't know how the toll fare is going to be collected and returned into the government account without some individuals getting a huge cut out of it and giving just remitting just peanuts to the government

But with the 1naira per liter billing, there's a way the government can enforce it by actually collecting the money before it is lifted by the petrol tankers and the filling stations recoup it back by adding a naira to the present pump price

It's really gonna tell on the masses though.. The government should only implement it only if there's no other alternatives
Exactly!!!

Toll gates were given to politicians. Example under Obj (before he disbanded it)The toll gate in Ninth mile Enugu was being managed by the Minister from Enugu State.

Politicians will hijack this process. Even if we're taxed 1 naira per litre, politicians and civil servants will still eat the money.

I believe the best thing is for a law to be passed encouraging Reputable Private individuals and companies with access to funds to build roads and put toll gates on them. The companies will still pay tax to the FG, a win - win situation.
