Paying to use what our taxes already Paid for. Forget all the PPP and concessionaires gibberish. Money from those tolls goes into private hands. We are so wicked and evil in this country.

I heard the though the monies collected regularly from all the tolls in Lagos goes to the government, Tinubu has a certain percentage in all. I don't know how true this info is but it was from a very reliable source.
the that built the road hitech. Is owned by tinubus friend chagory. The firm managing it lcc is owned by ARM where tinubu has huge shares . The state govt has paid off the road loan to hitech 2 years ago. So tinubu don cash out

I applaud this, common sense... by doing this,lots of man hours is saved, which leads to more productivity and faster development for Lagos state. he is simply putting public interest above personal interest, which is what a government must always do, and why he is elected.

What is the fucking point of toll gates

I have never seem to understand what this extortion of money is beneficial to the people.

Someone please explain


The benefit is plying on a very good road and since the government cannot afford the fixing of the road when it was bad they had to concession it to private firm in agreement that they would used their money to fix the road and toll it to recover their money over the years agreed upon

So which would you prefer driving on a bad road without paying or a very good road you have to pay to drive on for a period of years

The corruption that must have gone down in the course of negotiation between the govt and the firm is a story for another day

The unnecessary traffic people goes through everyday is what I don't like and govt shld do smtin abt it

Nice initiative from Sanwolu but this is a temporary measure. The gridlock at the toll gates is crazy on a daily basis. The number one cause is drivers not having exact fare, so it takes at least 2mins for the attendants to get change. As a solution, I suggest they have mobile attendants moving and issuing paper tickets before the driver gets to the toll point.

What very good road?

Road that doesn’t have lane markings and is full of potholes.

Third mainland is 10 times better than that road with clear lane markings and functioning street lights, yet, it’s free.

Go to Abuja and drive on their highways, you would think you are driving cross city in America, yet it’s free.

Come to Lekki, you pay 200/250, yet, no light at night, no lane markings, heavy traffic, potholes...

Bro, I’m sorry, but you have no argument.

We too like to dey defend suffering in this country.

the question is why is an already existing road being tolled 24hrs every day?

I dnt live in Lagos I only drive on the road once before it was completed & I heard that time that they agreed that the road will not be toll before it is completed

And I thought the road is completed and very good

I live in abuja by the way

How I wish they could fix all the federal road from abuja to akure like abuja airport road and toll it I won't mind paying as long as road will be good

Rubbish.

Just ensure all the toll gates are used at all times.

Those chronic idiots at times open just 3 while the others will be X.

I am getting irritated with all these rubbish activities without any direction.

May God heal your bitterness. Amen

How will declaring Thursday toll free help u analyze. Are u guys crazy ?

Ensure all the darn toll gates are functional or they remove the toll gates.

I av seen rush hour that only 3 was working and 2 are exact fare.

You are right. It happened as you described and I went to the exact fare gate and gate man refused to collect 500 Naira and shut his gate. I rolled up my window and rolled down my seat and relaxed. After 5 minutes, the guy behind me came down and offered to pay for both of us. The gatemen have devised a way of not giving receipts after collecting money.

Then that will pave way for ensuring smooth flow of traffic at the toll and remove all bottlenecks that impede traffic flow at the toll, normally an empirically analysis is always carried out rather than assume using common sense. That is the scientific way to go

Nice one bro, I’m sure you love Abuja airport road. That road is so standard, that it’s very sad thinking why all highways across Naija can’t be that way.

Lekki toll highway is just the epitome of corruption bro, like mad sickening corruption.

To think that the road generates nothing short of a billion Naira every month and they can’t even standardize the minuscule 15km road, it’s just sad.

The lanes have all washed away, when you’re driving at night, the whole place will just be dark, short of a few stretches close to the tolling point.

We have very evil leaders across Nigeria bro, demons in human skin.

How can third mainland that is free be fresher than a 15km road that generates over 1 billion every single month? Doesn’t make any logical sense, but then most things in Nigeria don’t.

I just tire for naija true. Go to yankee and both the toll road and it’s alternativ will be fresh. In fact, in yankee, the major reason for a toll road that I’ve seen, is a way to decrease the distance travelled, like how ikoyi link bridge decreases the distance travelled from Lekki to Ikoyi.

These guys just added one extra lane to the already existing road and started tolling, after using area boys to drive away protesters. Okay now that you have been successful in tolling, you can’t even put lanes on the road? Or make sure the road is fresh

Abeg bro, enjoy Abuja highways!!
