The federal government says the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority, NSIA, will manage a tolling system on major highways across the country including the ongoing Lagos/Ibadan express road when concessions arrangements are perfected.
Managing director of NSIA Uche Orgi said this on Thursday at the Special weekly briefing organized by the Presidential communication team at the Presidential Villa Abuja.
Orgi said this is to enable the government to get appropriate value for investments made on road projects.
