BREAKING: LCC postpones collection of tolls at Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge

The Lekki Concession Company (LCC) has said that it is postponing collection of tolls at the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge.

Managing Director of LCC, Yomi Omomuwasan, said in a statement on Friday that a new date for the toll collection would be announced soon.

LCC had earlier announced that they would start collection of tolls on April 17 after opening the toll gate on April1.

The toll gate had earlier been closed during the #EndSARS protest in October 2020.

Omomuwasan said the LCC would continue to engage with stakeholders on the best approach.

“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,” he said.
