The Lekki Concession Company (LCC) has announced the
postponement of toll collection at the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge.
In a statement on Friday by Yomi Omomuwasan, managing
director of LCC, the company said a new date would be announced soon.
The company had suspended operations at the tollgate after
the shooting incident during the #EndSARS protest in October 2020.
Toll collection was due to resume on April 17, following the reopening of the toll plaza on April 1 — despite controversy over the resumption of tolling operations.
However, LCC said the decision to suspend tolling was taken
to give residents more time to register for electronic toll devices.
“As a responsible organisation, we must take full cognizance
of everyone within the axis. Therefore, we want to continue with the ongoing
engagements with our stakeholders,” the LCC MD 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.”
