Most people commenting hardly read.

Good roads without pot holes cost millions to build and maintain.

The fare is quite fair

That's not even the problem. The problem now is, if potholes comes out after a year or 2 with the typa substandard roads we construct here

Will the payment be halted till it's all fixed??

SalamRushdie:
How can you plant 4 tolls on a 200km road if not that you are a demon?

😂😂

The money would be used to repay the loan, and also for maintenance.

The road would shorten travel time, also reduce vehicle breakdown.

Yeah sure. Imma lover of good road tbh and paying 2k for a good road per travel isn't so much but my issue is, we're not sure if the road is of a standard type that last decades like the ones Abacha do construct

Quite obvious that you have not been opportune to have visited or resided in the civilized world?

On the contrary. Your response reflects that if this is what you came up with after reading all that. Swerve pls

The guy no send hm own papa talk more of helinus and agbadorians.

Tareq1105:


I prefer to pay #2,000 toll fees from Abuja on a very smooth road than to spend #100,000 on repair of car after arriving makurdi. It's all about being reasonable.

Stockholm syndrome is real!

ogolemati:
that's how it's done in America according to touts,thugs and agbero union nairaland branch

Yes in America did they tell u toll is free?

All the basic amenities you see up and down are not free but here in Nigeria u all want it to be free.

And yet u will quickly compare Nigeria to America 🤔

What's the colour of Una problem abeg 😡

Is the road get AC?

Tinubu is a devilish man.

Use tax payers money to build a road and then tax the same people for using it. Bulaba townhall.

Tinubu is a devilish man. Arewa you are the one voted this evil man into power.kindly correct your errors in the coming election by voting tinubu out. Tinubu is a collosal failure to Nigeria. Arewa , Yoruba and igbo should save this country from the grip of tinubu and Apc. By voting tinubu out in 2027.

Because anyone they has coexisted in a civil society should know that tolls are a necessary evil for road maintenance & infrastructure.

Nigerians & their Military subsidy mentality, Federal Government must do it free for us.

Very funny pikin, vote him out in your imagination to vote for who from Igbo Land to help U save Nigeria?

Abi u want to replace Tinubu with another Yoruba man, or with another Fulani Alhaji in 2027?

Keep deceiving yourself for the next 6 years chasing shadows.

The incoherent things that claimed President Buhari was a clone, still never learn their lesson.

They travel on air.They never traveled on road.

Suffering continues

Previous thread: FG Begins Toll Collection On Abuja-Makurdi Expressway

my concern is the way some yoruba bigot will this nonsense just because tulumbu is yoruba not minding how the common man suffer the consequences.

fashola remains the best governor in nigeria, it fasholas legacy others are copying and building on

Agba taxer. That’s how he makes everyone in Lagos pay extreme taxes both formally and informally.

Yet he did not lay a single block of housing unit in his 8 years as governor, let’s not even talk of pipe borne water.

Pa Jakande did more than any other governor of Lagos before and after him did in just 4 years.

Oga ocean tamer na just enrich he enriched himself.

Dogalmighty17:
How much did it cost to construct this road? Concessioning this road for tolling for 25 years? Is that not excessive and a give away to China?
We must that a report came out that check points in the South East from August to December last year reportedly extorted over 100 billion naira from motorists. So imagine how much the Keffi-Akwanga-Lafia-Makurdi road will generate in 5 years. Possibly over a trillion naira. Did the road cost that much?

If subsidy has been removed, shouldn't the free funds be used to pay off loans collected for projects like this?

They are currently working on the Makurdi to Enugu axis with money China has made available. This will add a possible 5 tolling points. A vehicle traveling from Enugu to Jos will cross over 9 toll gates. That's absurd to say the least.

These tolling points will work 24/7. With huge volumes of cash in their possession. They will be prime targets for armed robbers.

You forgot they mentioned it's cashless

You didn't read where a loan was taken for the road?

Clowns of Destruction End


Fuel caused tfare to increase.
Now watch tolls makes it increase even further

This is what online trolls and keypad warriors are defending? Making life more unbearable for the already impoverished citizen that thinks mostly about what to eat 24/7?


You guys defending this are evil.

See the sweetmouth excuses used to justify it too.

.. and the trucks that are carrying foodstuffs to other states will pay 6,400 naira .. which will make foodstuffs to be more expensive and increase price of foodstuffs.. including high costs of diesel at 1200 per liter the trucks use to transport the foodstuffs

Don't say what you don't know bro, I am not a fan of his presidency, but google babs fafunwa millennium grammer school , ojodu... He built that school about 23 years ago , and he built one structure each for almost every local government , That is the secondary school i finished from , the school has not been rebuilt since 23 years ago but today it looks better than some modern schools even after 23years.. besides there are tollgates in uk and usa

caesymore:



You big fool defending rubbish, fit be say you never see money chop self.

Who's behaving like person wey never chop between you and I? The money is not that much

COMPAQ:



You didn't read where a loan was taken for the road?

Why do you need to take a loan for a road with all the monies saved from subsidy removal and other sources?

The road no get diversion? I mean corner corner where man go take escape the toll gate as e dey use to escape police checkpoints?

These amounts are outrageous. For such projects u don't recover ur money immediately but over serveral years since government can build basic roads themselves.

BAT is an evil and a dangerous meat. Nigerians haven't seen anything yet. Both his friends and ers will still feel the heat even his kinsmen if he has any

Let the system be transparent, get a data of the vehicle that ply the road in 24 hours. Let's get to see an estimate of amount that is realized in 24 hours.
