NOW SEE THE DESIGNATION OF TOLL GATES IN NIGERIA: Designated points to install toll gates in Nigeria


Southeast 56 toll gates


South south 21 toll gates


Southwest 22 toll gates


North central 14 toll gates


Northeast 9 toll gates


Northwest 12 toll gates


Do the mathematics yourself and see how many toll gates per capita the South East gets on the untarred FG roads for such a such space where the FG has invested practically  nothing!

This is not a pretty picture for "One Nigeria" mantra. Although there might be reasons for this.
