Driver wey pass through Nasarawa go Makurdi get two questions for toll gate. How much dem dey collect for dis kain vehicle? Person go still pay again for front on top dis same road? Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria want federal government to check how many times travellers dey pay on di route wey pass Keffi, Akwanga and Lafia.
For statement dated 3 November, di group ask make collection stop until independent people review di system. E also ask Federal Ministry of Works to publish di agreements wey concern di matter. Na suspension di group dey ask for. Di statement alone no change di price and e no give driver permission to pass gate without paying.
Di group wan know how dem share di money, who suppose maintain di road and how dem check wetin dem collect and spend. E also ask make dem hear from transport unions, traders, farmers and communities along di road. Di worry be say repeated payments fit increase di cost to move people and food. Di statement no measure how much any particular food price don change.
Collection for dis project start before dis appeal. Federal government open toll collection for Garaku, Nasarawa, on 4 February 2025. Three days later works minister David Umahi inspect di plaza and tell di operator make e add payment points and more POS machines so vehicles fit pass better. Na how dem dey collect money dat time di instruction concern.
Elected representatives don make earlier request too. For February 2025 Nasarawa House of Assembly ask make person pay only once for one journey along di corridor. Di lawmakers request and di later demand from civil society group na two parts of public debate. None of dem prove say one-payment system don start.
Wetin e mean for you. If you dey plan how much journey go cost or you dey give customer price for delivery, check wetin dem display for your type of vehicle. Keep receipt for each payment. Di November appeal no give confirmed new price wey you fit use calculate fare. Check any change against notice from di authority or operator wey dey responsible.
