Lagos State Government has said reopening the Lekki tollgate is inevitable.
The state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, revealed that Lekki Concession Company, LCC, owes local lenders N11.6bn and foreign lenders $31.1m.
Omotoso maintained that the reopening of the Lekki tollgate was coming after engagement and encouragement from the residents’ association of the area, transporters, and traditional rulers.
The LCC announced, on Monday, that tolling activities would resume on April 1.
Recall that the tollgate was shut down, together with the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge, following the October 2020 #EndSARS protests.
