After several engagements with critical stakeholders, Lekki Concession Company Limited, LCC, has announced that it is postponing toll collection at the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge Toll Plaza.
Based on an initial announcement by the management of the LCC, toll collection was to begin on Saturday, April 16, 2022.
According to a statement on Friday by the Managing Director of LCC, Yomi Omomuwasan, the company decided to delay the resumption of toll collection for further consultations with key stakeholders in the Eti-Osa, Lekki area 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, the statement added.
“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.”
This development is coming after series of meetings in the last week between the management of the LCC and the leadership of the two main residents’ associations in the area: Lekki Estate Residents and Stakeholders Association and Lekki Estate Residents Association.
The first of such meetings was presided over by the Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, after which the LCC and the residents’ associations met on two occasions.
