Characteristics of Nigeria's Highway Toll Collection System:
Toll Collection Method: Primarily cash-based, with the ETC system still in the rollout phase. Electronic tags have been introduced on sections such as the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, but coverage remains low.
Toll Rates: Tolls are relatively low, with small vehicles paying approximately 500-1000 Naira (about US$0.6-1.2) per trip. However, frequent price adjustments have sparked public controversy.
Main Problems: Serious toll evasion, insufficient transparency, frequent system malfunctions, and cash transactions leading to inefficiency and corruption risks.
Development Trends: The government is promoting smart transportation infrastructure and plans to gradually phase out manual toll collection, achieving nationwide electronic toll collection.
