The Federal Government said Thursday that the purpose of reintroducing tolling system into the management of the Nigerian roads was to help boost the road sector across the country.
.
The Federal Minister of state of works Amb. Bashir Yuguda, made this known during the Federal Roads and Bridges Tolling Policy consultation forum in Abuja, saying that the re-introduction of the tolling policy would open the sector to both local and international investors.
.
He said that the fact that over 90 per cent of economic and social activities are run on the Nigerian roads put so much pressure on them, adding that as such so much funds are needed to maintain the roads to keep them in motorable condition.
.
"The economy is doing well, the road transport account for over 90% of the movement of road and services in the country any nation no matter how advance you are, almost 90% of the movement of goods and services in this country is on road and that calls for regular maintenance.
As FG work on this, they should also ensure they work on ASUU Strike as well.
