Gov. Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun on Monday disclosed that the state was losing between N3 billion and N5 billion as revenue monthly from haphazard toll collection.
The governor said this at the inauguration of harmonisation of haulage revenue collection in state, in Abeokuta.
The event, with the theme: `Harmonisation Eradicating Multiplicity in Haulage Revenue Collection’, was attended by top officials of security agencies, stakeholders in transport and haulage sector.
Also in attendance were chairmen of local governments and local council development authorities in the state.
Amosun lamented the huge loss of revenue by the state due to unorganised toll revenue collection, saying the new scheme would address the identified inadequacies of the former method.
He added that the harmonisation would also block revenue leakages and eradicate printing and issuing of fake toll tickets by some contractors.
Ogun loses N5bn revenue monthly, says Amosun
