SAT 16 APRIL, 2022-theGBJournal | The Lekki Concession Company (LCC) Limited Friday announced it is delaying the resumption of toll collection at Ikoyi Link Bridge Toll Plaza, after several engagements with critical stakeholders.
The company said it decided to delay the collection of toll collection for further consultation with key stakeholders in the Eti-Osa, Lekki area, in a statement signed by the company’s managing director, Mr Yomi Omomuwasan.
LCC added that the measure is ‘’in a bid to address their concerns and arrive at a mutually favourable resolution of all issues, besides, the shift will give customers more time to register for the electronic devices.’’
‘’As a reputable organization, we must take full cognizance of everyone within the axis. Therefore, we want to continue with the ongoing engagements with our stakeholders,’’ Omomuwasan said, adding ‘’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 development is coming after series of meetings in the last week between the management of LCC and key stakeholders, including residents’ associations.
According to the LCC, the first of such meetings was presided over by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, after which LCC and the residents’ associations met on two occasions.
‘’Talks with key stakeholders will continue, whilst a new date for toll collection will be announced soon,’’ LCC said.
