NRFA Collects K1.6B from Toll Gates
The National Road Fund Agency (NRFA) has announced that it collected K1.6 billion in toll revenue from January to May 2025, signaling strong progress toward meeting its annual target of K3.308 billion.
This was revealed by NRFA Public Relations Manager, Mr. Alphonsius Hamachila, who noted that the revenue has already been disbursed to support new and ongoing road projects across the country.
A total of 7.9 million vehicle passages were recorded during the period from 24 inland toll gates and 11 ports of entry. Notably, the K1.6 billion figure excludes collections from Public Private Partnership (PPP)-operated toll gates such as Katuba, Manyumbi, and Kafulafuta on the Lusaka-Ndola Road, as well as the Abram Zayoni Mokola Toll Gate on the Masangano-Fisenge-Luanshya Road and Konkola Toll Gate between Chingola and Kasumbalesa.
Hamachila emphasized the agency’s continued efforts to promote digital payment solutions, stating that 50 percent of toll revenue at inland sites was collected through electronic toll cards. This shift to cashless systems is part of NRFA’s broader strategy to enhance efficiency, transparency, and convenience for motorists.
The NRFA is also working closely with stakeholders to expand the rollout of its E-Toll cards to PPP-operated toll gates, ensuring seamless integration across all facilities. These developments are part of the agency’s commitment to complement Public Private Partnership initiatives under the National Road Tolling Programme, which is pivotal to Zambia’s road infrastructure development.
With the first five months of the year already yielding nearly half of its annual projection, the NRFA is optimistic that it will surpass its 2025 revenue target—driving further investments into Zambia’s road network and improving connectivity nationwide.
