Why Lekki-Ikoyi’s tolling was postponed – LCC

The Lekki Concession Company (LCC) has confirmed that tolling at the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge has been postponed.

LCC managing director, Yomi Omomuwasan, confirmed this in a statement on Friday.

According to Omomuwasan, a new date will be communicated soon.

“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 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,” the statement read.

LCC had suspended operations at the tollgate after the shooting incident during the #EndSARS protest in October 2020.

Toll collection was to resume on April 17, following the reopening of the toll plaza on April 1.
