The Lekki Concession Company (LCC) has postponed the resumption of toll collection at the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge.
This was confirmed in a statement by LCC Managing-Director
director, Yomi Omomuwasan, on Friday.
Omomuwasan noted that the company will announce a new date
soon.
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.
However, LCC has now suspended tolling and claimed it is 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 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.
