Power, Works and Housing Minister, BABATUNDE
FASHOLA, says arrangements have been concluded to reintroduce toll gates in 38
points across the country.
The minister said that the reintroduction of the
toll gates by the Federal Government will be consummated after completion of
major highways.
The toll gates are to be managed by the private
sector, FASHOLA told members of the Senate Committee on Federal Roads
Maintenance Agency (FERMA) when he appeared before them in Abuja yesterday.
He told the lawmakers of plans by the government to
design software for the monitoring of vehicles passing through the roads.
According to him, road users would be able to pay toll
through their phones, explaining that the toll collected would be used for
maintenance of the highways.
