The Federal Executive Council has approved the reintroduction of toll collections on some selected dual carriageways across the country.

The decision was made almost two decades after the Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration dismantled all toll plazas on federal roads across the country in 2003. “We have seen that most of those dual carriageways also have alternative roads, but they are single carriageways; that’s why we left them. So, the only exception to single carriageway are some bridges and they are listed in the regulation.”

“So, we have taken another step. So let me be clear, tolls are not going to start tomorrow. So let us be clear about that.” Fashola noted that FG consulted widely with public and private sector stakeholders before agreeing to reintroduce toll on federal highways.The Federal Executive Council also approved $2.54m and N498.23m for four projects in the Ministry of Power.He said, “The Federal Ministry of Power also received the blessing of the Federal Executive Council by giving four approvals for our contracts.

He said approval was also granted for the contract for procurement of 10 sets of 330KV and 30 sets of 133KV circuit breaker for the TCN in favour of Horsepower Engineering Trading Limited in the sum of $502,719 plus N114,571,500 with a delivery period of six months.

This particular guy fashola should be a national union of road transport workers most especially the ones that runs before they collect 20 Naira from Danfo’s ... he loves to impose levy’s on poor Nigerians without giving back services to them...

People who have lost focused going back to 20th century instead of moving forward.
