panambasi: In sane countries they have tolls on their highways. Nigerians go to these countries and pay the tolls but when they come back home they will complain about tolls and still expect Nigeria to be as good as those countries. If the government can fix the roads, and then give the maintenance of these roads to private companies to manage who in turn collect tolls, then its a welcomed development. Govt alone cannot fix everything. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Multi-taxation in this country is getting out of hand. Maybe reduce import tax on vehicles then. |

twinskenny: If they mount tolls without fixing the roads then they are asking for problem. I'm sure shame will not even allow them do that. Fix the roads, mount the tolls no problem. Mount tolls without fixing road serious problem |

Even with the proceeds realized at the end of the day won't still guaranteed good road, gallop free road etc watch and see! I remember when they first removed fuel subsidy the then President and Economy and Finance Minister GEJ/NOI said the will use the money realize for infrastructure, social amenities/good roads. |

The Lagos-Ota- Abeokuta road is an eyesores and they want to toll it again to increase the hardships in that area...... |

lalasticlala: Looking at the nature of our corrupt system and society, Toll-Gate systems will be ideal in ensuring good highway road infrastructure as well as inter-state border security. However, FG should reduce federal revenue taxes in-order to justify the implementation of these toll system, even if it's by 10%. |

culf:The annoying thing is that this is a government that promised reducing burdens on Nigerians, now otherwise is the case. Nigerians now pay for virtually everything and at high cost, when you complain the government draws comparison with Saudi, and other oil producing countries. This is sad and unfortunate! |

hypertension: Toir head is correct. You see how they strategically chose the major roads that Easterners mostly ply to reach the East to be rolled but left out the major roads in the core North. The war is on different faces and patterns but we the southern people and indigenous people will surely be victorious. 4 Likes |

Good but more required, the road to Obodo Oyibo standard is lined by taxes and tamed citizens Nigerians remain wild still, though, shrieking and condemning anything around them for not being like the West yet jumping on car bonnet, exposing panty to driver because traffic operatives are doing like the West and trying to confiscate their vehicle for extreme traffic violations |

Will they repair the road before they toll it or toll it then use the funds to repair? Whatever the case, this is a wonderful initiative! |

abatically: Good point. Here in Houston about 4 of the major highways that circle the city are tolled. And when I move around, my google maps is set to avoid toll roads, even if a bit longer. And there are many toll roads across the developed world. So we should stop about this whole everything is free abroad. About 20% of petrol price in UK is tax element, but we want our petrol to be dirt cheap. Since most Nigerians don’t pay tax formal tax, the toll will be your share of informal tax. Besides I wonder whether Nigerians spend all day traveling. What’s the fuss about? There was a period I had no reason to leave Lagos in 6months, so in that case what’s the big deal about toll? If in 1 year I go to Ibadan once and Abeokuta twice, based on the list here, I pay no toll cos Lagos Ibadan isn’t on the list and I’d rather go to Abeokuta through Shagamu interchange, not Ota. 2 Likes 1 Share |

lalasticlala:This is a good idea n it's long overdue, gradually all the roads in the country should be toll but the tolling should incorporate other things like building standard security camp at every 10-20km to reduce check points, building of traumatic n emergency hospitals etc, this policy if well manage is very capable of generating enough money to manage our roads, build new ones n extra revenue for the government. 2 Likes |

VaselineCrew: LCC is now owned by government since LASG took them over a few years ago, so of course you don’t expect government to care about streetlights and markings. Both of those were actually more present when it was not owned by LASG. 2 Likes |
