The Lekki Concession Company (LCC) has announced the
commencement of toll operations at the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge plaza in Lagos.
LCC had suspended operations at the Lekki tollgate after the
shooting of protesters during the #EndSARS protest on October 20, 2020.
Some facilities at the toll plaza were also destroyed during
the protest.
In February 2021, the state judicial panel had approved the
reopening of the tollgate, but the ruling met objections in some quarters.
In a statement, the company said tolling operations will
commence on April 1.
The LCC said commuters plying the road will not pay any toll
for the first two weeks until 15th April 2022 “as this period would be
toll-free to all motorists plying the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge”.
According to Yomi Omomuwasan, LCC’s managing director, the
resumption of services at the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge Toll Plaza is coming
after extensive consultations with key stakeholders including the residents’
associations, traditional rulers and community leaders, professional bodies, as
well as the Lagos government.
Omnomuwasan said LCC is back to serve commuters and the
community better.
“We have introduced new technology and innovations to make
passages at the Toll Plaza seamless and faster for commuters. We are replacing
old toll devices with upgraded ones for faster throughput at the Toll Plaza,”
he said.
“The new devices have been configured to synchronise with
the newly upgraded tolling systems and will improve functionality while enabling
a better experience at the Toll Plaza.
“The devices can be installed at any of LCC Customer Service
Centres at the Admiralty Circle Toll Plaza, Conservation Toll Plaza, or the
Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge. They can also be delivered to customers’ preferred
location, whilst the devices would only be installed on the vehicle by LCC’s
authorised personnel.”
He added that for further information on upgrading toll
devices, modifying an existing toll account, or registering new vehicles,
customers should contact LCC on its toll-free customer helpline 0800 22 555 22,
send an email to customerservice@lcc.com.ng, or visit the website
