Does Tinubu, VP Shettima pay tollgate fees at airports? Truth unveiled

Every time they use an airport in Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima must pay a tollgate fee.

This was in response to the Federal Executive Council’s (FEC) ruling that airport customers should no longer be exempt from paying tollgate costs.

Festus Keyamo, the aviation minister, submitted a memorandum to the council stating that the government was losing more than 82% of the money it should have received from the e-tags that opened the tollgates. The memo was approved as a result.

He clarified that until Tinubu overruled and ordered that they both be counted among those who must pay, the memos had originally stipulated an exemption for only the president and the vice president.

Keyamo expressed displeasure that wealthy, Very Important People, or VIPs, who should be paying, have yet to do so during the post-FEC media session.

According to the minister, there should be an end to the practice of charging only the poor for using the tollgates.
