FG CONSIDERS REINTRODUCTION OF TOLLS ON ROADS

The Federal Government has said it is considering the reintroduction of tolling on roads and has come up with the ‘Green Papper: Federal Roads and Bridges Tolling Policy for Nigeria’ to actualize this. In a statement made available to our correspondent on Sunday, the director, public-private partnership, federal ministry of works, Mr. Babatunde Ekunsumi, said road tolling was a globally accepted method of raising funds for road maintenance and management, and would be of substantial economic benefit if properly managed.
