The attention of Lagos State Government has been drawn to the announcement of a proposed tariff hike on Lekki-Epe Expressway and Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge by the Lekki Concession Company (LCC).

The Lagos State government hereby informs the general public that the said tariff hike has now been put on hold as the necessary consultations with stakeholders are yet to be concluded.

While government recognises the need for periodic review of tariffs and any other levies appertaining to road infrastructure maintenance in the state, the public and critical stakeholders as the ultimate beneficiaries of such facilities must always be carried along at all times.

Therefore, the proposed tarrif hike cannot be effected at this period in the interest of the public, while further consultations continue.

Signed:
Steve Ayorinde
Commissioner for Information & Strategy
Lagos State

Very good move. Still can't find any substantial reasons why the toll fare should be increased. Those in charge though only exotic cars pass there.

Ambode is sleeping, he's yet to convince that he meant business.
He started out awarding some phony street light contracts, bulk of which are no longer working.

He said he'll reorganize waste management by scrapping LAWMA and outsourcing it. Almost one year down the lane, Lagos is dirtier back to Pre 2000 era.

During the era of Fashola LSPWC were always on the road fixing potholes even during the raining season, Ambode comes in, sack the head and render them useless. Potholes now adore Lagos roads.

Building bridges and parks is good but not enough. We are yet to see his impact in the following areas

Health sector - he should be reminded that his predecessor build several General hospital and major ones like the Child and Mother centres.

Education: He has not done anything in terms of physical structures, Fashola did a lot in this area, he how need to be creative and let us see what he can offer.

Sport: I find it difficult to believe that the FA cup final was played at Agege stadium. It was something nobody can expect.

Useless halting

Oga go don go Redeemed...i am sure na for there dem go don warn am

Useless government of Lagos

Nonsense

This is so wrong.

It is to increase the IGR generated by the SW states as supported by Yorubas on Nairaland.

Don't you guys want to increase your IGR again.


I thought you guys believe in more IGR through taxation.

africansunite:

Pls don't relocate oooo


Your money is needed to build up the IGR of the SW states.


Oya, quietly pay more in tax in order to boost the IGR of your states.

Very good...exploitation must stop in this country..

Good move. But can Ambode stop Jagaban?! Let’s wait and see.

when people living close to Lagos state believes they are also Lagosians.
?


You just carry phone dey type nonsense

Damage control

Nawa oo check my signature if you want to be a millionaire before December

Tinubu won't like this. Ambode wants to deplete the revenue of his benefactor.

A listening Government. Lagosians are very happy with you. This further validates his emphasis that his commitment is first to the people of Lagos.

hucienda:
lol ... those in that axis would be fools should they buy this gimmick.

They will still hike that fee - and folks will 'react', hashtag and so on as usual on social media - then adjust. Fela deftly read the psyche of the average Nigerian in 'shuffering and shmiling'.

The time has come for people to come out and say 'enough is enough'. Else if you know you tired of living in bondage, move over to other side of the state. Afterall, ask yourself these salient questions: Where do Tinubu, Fashola, Ambode and so on live? Why is the Tinubu allegedly-owned Oriental Hotel before - not after - the toll gate? You think say dem no get sense?

Which damage?
The supposed new tolls had never been in effect in the first place, so I wonder the damage you were referring to.

Go inform yourself on the TRIPOD of his Administration on which his first tenure is hinged & quit exhibiting sheer ignorance.

Blue3k Rmxr gberra firefire


So your people don't want to help increase the IGR of Lagos state.

So ordinary small increment and they are complaining.


You see why I keep laughing at you Blue3k and Rmxr when you argue with me about Public Economic.


Next time, keep quiet when people like me talk.

Stop bleating over the whole thread, there's no truly developed country that doesn't collect adequate tax. Advanced countries collect 30-40% GDP annually, Lagos is barely doing 7% and your enclaves are at 2%. Our aim is to be in the league of advanced societies not remain in the league of poor 2% ers.
We will achieve our goals by ensuring that everyone pay their fair share as we all use the infrastructure. Not necessarily by rate increase.

Lol are you still hurt but hurt son. Look at you dancing over nothing. Only someone as daft as you doesn't understand simple concepts like taxing isn't over taxing. This why things like Laffer curve concept exist. Besides political pressure always determine whether they will increase the taxes.

The dude is daft na... He doesn't know the relationship between state tax and economic growth. He should take his advice to his home state & bother his governor with it.
