Nigerians have condemn the decision of the Lagos State Government to reopen the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge Toll Plaza.
Recall that operations at Lekki tollgate was suspended after the chaos during the EndSARS protest on October 20, 2020. This led to the facility being burnt down.
While a move to reopen the facility met objections in some quarters in 2021, Yomi Omomuwasan, LCC’s managing director has announced that toll services at the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge Toll Plaza will resume on April 1.
Omomuwasan said the decision was taken after extensive consultations with key stakeholders including the residents’ associations, traditional rulers and community leaders, professional bodies, as well as the Lagos government.
However, Nigerian on social media have described the reopening as a sign of desperation from the Lagos State Gov, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and and National Leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2023 election.

Bj –2023 around the corner
Vicki – A toll within a Country is illegal, Citizen should not have to pay A CRIMINAL (Tinubu) Just to drive around . Tolls are collected at the Border of a country connecting other countries. If only Nigerians can wake up that toll gate will be razed
Saheed Akin AJIBOLA – So who die na him waste, God dey
Askme – Don’t try it. Is good road a crime, that’s the only thing we enjoy from our tax payers money.
Dayo – nothing you can do, toll must be collected
Saintleaf – They are looking for money as per 2023, they are also looking for new trouble cos that toll gate stands for oppression, intimidation and death of the Nigerian youths by Buhari administration. How can you have a toll gate within a country? What type of banana republic is this? They just keep on taxing and stealing from the Nigerian people for no reason.
Madrid Spain –With cost of living and fuel scarcity in Nigeria, introducing this now will increase more sufferings to all. Rice also cry remember
