Some of the members, while commenting on
proposal, wondered why the one kilometre
bridge would be tolled, even as they all noted
the voluminous nature of the bill which needed
time to study.
According to Honourable Olusegun Olulade,
some things were not clear because of the
volume of the document, urging that the tolling
of the bridge should be put off for now, while
the government be asked to go ahead with the
commissioning.
Another member, Hon Bisi Yusuf also took note
of the huge volume of the bill.
He said that “the project was started two years
ago and you are bringing the document for
urgent consideration and approval, it is not the
best. It needs time for examination, so a time
frame should be given.”
Hon Saka Fafunmi, who also contributed to the
debated, said he was not convinced on why
tolling should be allowed on the bridge, which is
just a kilometre.
Besides, he argued that the project was
undertaken with Lagos State tax payer’s fund
and not through Build Operate and Transfer
approach.
“I know it was part of Lagos State fund that
was used to build the project. Must we always
make the people pay for every service we
provide,” he queried.
Deputy Speaker of the House, Kolawole noted
that the request of the government, as claimed
in the proposal, was not in line with the 2011
Public-Private Partnership law.

As if I wasn't in Lagos in 1998. Mind u, I never said Igbos developed Lagos. Lagos was built with Nigerian wealth. So you guys should stop claiming all the glory of Lagos. If u want to talk abt south west, talk abt Ibadan Osogbo, Akure, Ado Ekiti, Abeokuta (former president's city. Guess u know I'm aware of that).

HNosegbe: This bridge was obviously built for the high-class neighbourhoods of Lekki Phase I and environs... People who can AFFORD to pay the toll.

I would have had issues if the bridge was built (and tolled) at Ayobo, Iyana-Ipaja, Agege, Ajegunle or Ikorodu.

It's a win-win as far as I see. The Lekki folks get the satisfaction of bypassing Ozumba traffic (leaving it less congested for others) and the government makes more money which can be used for other purposes.

Can't complain.

Another motorist who plied the Link Bridge after it was opened and spoke to newsmen is businessman, Mr Valentine Aboh who gave kudos to the Lagos State Governor and his team for their clear vision of infrastructural renewal and development in Lagos State.

He added that the project is a welcome development that is also people oriented, adding that its benefit is for the users of the roads not the government.

“We the masses appreciate it and no matter how much they ask us to pay, we will pay the toll. Let the good things be replicated around the whole state so that people will have easy movement to go around unhindered for their businesses. We Nigerians are willing to struggle to make ends meet but let the government give us the enabling environment”.

omiobo:

That bridge needs to be maintained,I believe there should be a source of revenue to maintain that bridge,not with the same tax payers' money and still expect fourth mainland bridge to be constructed.

oshea44: Some people are just idiot, they have never travelled outside the country Nigeria before and see how the Western World Govt tax the hell out of you, I am in Canada, the govt tax 13% out of everything you buy, 13% from your Wages, $500 for car insurance every month, which tax una dey pay for 9ja, Yet una go dey complain.. Mind you, the bridge cost alot of money and how do u pay taxes? let me ask you a question, paying toll money is it not better than bad road or nothing? Please sometimes let think before we talk, cos its extremely annoying...if my second home Nigeria go bill 30% of tax from my money, i go pay....

Your Post is valid but my arguement here is that the executive should have waited till the Legislative arm was done. Afterall, Democracy is a government for ................by .............

Foolish human being! Celebrating slavery.....one day ur master will also tax you for sleeping with ur wife!

This is why seun need to age-restrict registration on NL. Case of an ignorant kid trying to sound reasonable but fails.

babaowo: .... imagine if FG can fix electricity and ask us to pay ,peolple we still complain,they forget good things never come cheap.

flexshop:

Nigerians amaze me. So you will be glad to pay for a service that the government should provide to you as her citizen. I give up

ba7man: At least, after decades of stagnation and rot in Lagos, LASG has found a way out of this rut and suddenly, projects are springing up around......Even if they are tolled(For maintainance and to fund other projects), it's sure better that what we had waiting for Obj and the Federal Govt when nothing happened. When will people understand that the alternative Lagosians have to these tolled projects have never been reliable. Speaking of "Alternatives"......"THERE IS A FREE ALTERNATIVE ROUTE!!!". If LASG wanted to be greedy, they would block that off and force everyone to pass the tolled bridge.....Then we'll know what "Slavery" is.

ilugunboy:

I've given up on trying to let this people understand the essence of the bridge on the other thread...those that liken them to a still-fan aren't wrong after all

gboss4sure: Had it been the FG introudced tax on a high way am sure that eko ile and co would have faulted them. Well am waiting for all of them at the polls in 2015, they will soon realize that is not to talk the cheap talk.

Desola: Lovely!

Lucasbalo: what is lovely in putting more pressure on people that are financially stressed already? .

mahleeq:

As a tax payer you pay less. If it is a way out then we can embrace it. My problem with it is will the trend continue
