 Lekki Concession Company Limited (LCC) has shifted the resumption date of toll collection at the Lekki- Ikoyi Link Bridge Toll Plaza indefinitely, thereby changed toll collection date from April 16th, 2022 till after consultation with residents. This was contained in a statement signed by Yomi Omomuwasan, Managing Director of LCC on Friday.  

According to the company, delay in the resumption of toll collection was due to the need for further consultations with key stakeholders in the Eti-Osa, Lekki area. The MD said the new development was in a bid to address their concerns and arrive at a mutually favourable resolution of all issues. Besides, the shift will give customers more time to register for the electronic devices.

He said, “As a responsible organisation, we must take full cognisance of everyone within the axis. Therefore, we want to continue with the ongoing engagements with our stakeholders,” Mr. Omomuwasan said.

“The preparatory operations to resume tolling on the Bridge have been smooth so far, and we are grateful to all the key stakeholders for their cooperation. The planned commencement of toll collection has now been postponed, allowing more of our customers to register for the electronic toll devices to enable seamless passages at the toll plaza.”

LCC;s management, it would be recalled has had series of meetings with the key stakeholders, including residents’ associations. 

Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, presided over the first meeting, following which the management  of LCC and the residents’ associations met on two occasions. Talks with key stakeholders will continue, whilst a new date for toll col
lection will be announced soon.
