LCC to resume operations at Lekki Tollgate

By our reporter| The Lekki Concession Company (LCC) on Monday announced the commencement of toll operations at the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge plaza in Lagos.

According to a statement by the company, tolling operations will commence on April 1.

The company, however, said commuters plying the road will not pay any toll for the first two weeks until 15th April 2022 “as this period would be toll-free to all motorists plying the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge”.

LCC’s managing director, Yomi Omomuwasan, in the statement, said resumption of services at the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge Toll Plaza followed extensive consultations with key stakeholders including the residents’ associations, traditional rulers and community leaders, professional bodies, as well as the Lagos government.

According to him, LCC is back to serve commuters and the community better.

“We have introduced new technology and innovations to make passages at the Toll Plaza seamless and faster for commuters. We are replacing old toll devices with upgraded ones for faster throughput at the Toll Plaza,” he said.

“The new devices have been configured to synchronise with the newly upgraded tolling systems and will improve functionality while enabling a better experience at the Toll Plaza.

“The devices can be installed at any of LCC Customer Service Centres at the Admiralty Circle Toll Plaza, Conservation Toll Plaza, or the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge. They can also be delivered to customers’ preferred location, whilst the devices would only be installed on the vehicle by LCC’s authorised personnel.”

The statement further stated that information on upgrading toll devices, modifying an existing toll account, or registering new vehicles, customers should contact LCC on its toll-free customer helpline 0800 22 555 22, send an email to customerservice@lcc.com.ng, or visit the website www.lcc.com.ng.

LCC had suspended operations at the Lekki tollgate after the shooting of protesters during the #EndSARS protest on October 20, 2020.

The state judicial panel later approved the reopening of the tollgate.
