The managing director of LCC Yomi Omomuwasan In a statement on Friday announced the postponement adding that a new resumption date would be announced. The postponement followed several protests by Lekki residents under the aegis of the Lekki Estates Residents & Stakeholders Association who rejected the resumption of tolling at the bridge which was scheduled to begin on April 16th, 2022.
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.
The statement was titled, ‘LCC Shift Resumption Date Of Toll Collection At The Ikoyi Link Bridge Toll Plaza. New Date To Be Announced Soon.
“As a responsible organization, we must take full cognizance of everyone within the axis. Therefore, we want to continue with the ongoing engagements with our stakeholders.
“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,” he said.
