All Major Roads in the Nation Will be Tolled by FG. — Umahi
The Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi, has announced that the Federal Government plans to implement tolls on all major roads across the nation once their construction and renovation are finalized.
He identified several key routes, including the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, the Second Niger Bridge, the Abuja-Kano Road, and the Makurdi-9th Mile Road, among others.
During an inter-ministerial media briefing held in Abuja yesterday, the Minister stated, “We are nearing completion of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, and it will be subject to tolling.”
The former governor of Ebonyi State and current senator emphasized that the tolling of federal roads is expected to generate significant revenue for the Federal Government. He mentioned that private sector partners have been involved to secure funding, construct these roads, and collaborate with the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission and the Ministry of Works to facilitate the tolling process.
He indicated that the government would initiate this process with the completed Keffi-Makurdi Road, adding that his ministry is working with the Ministry of Finance to establish a paperless payment system.
