most of u just read without comprehending and come here to spew thraw. where in the post did dey say lcc wants to start collecting toll on d lagos-ibadan expressway?? operational office na dem open to make it easy to purchase e-tags etc. read well bfr concluding.

On the desire of the LCC to manage the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway after the ongoing reconstruction work, he said, “If we do well with the Lekki road, it is possible for the Federal Government to consider us to take care of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Anytime they are ready and we are contacted, we’ll be glad to do it.”

They also marketed themselves in the last sentence....that they are willing to manage it if called upon

Money would be made from there....and not just federal government allocation. Iffa hear say they no add toll gate join am, you go wonder where the money we pay for tax goes to

The toll itself in Lekki is double taxation on people...just that no one is fighting on behalf of the citezens

How did you make this about 'Igbos'?

When Tinubu and friends took the government funds for the Lekki-Ekpe expressway, frittered them away and then built a toll road, EVERYBODY was up in arms.

Bros, what are you saying?

Fashola gave LTC to manage since 2013

You said LCC have been managing since 2011

What exactly is your point?

Read slowly.

1) LCC has been coklecting toll on the Lekki Expressway since 2011.

2) Fashola's administration gave LTC the concession to manage the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge and collect tolls on the bridge in 2013.


Does it make sense now?

The Fashola Administration handed the management of the Lekki-Ikoyi Bridge over to the Lekki Tolling Company (LTC) in 2013.



The LTC office used to be opposite the current LCC office (it was on the other side of the bridge).

That piece of land was given to the Lasema Response Unit (LRU) and is currently the home of LRU tow trucks, ambulances and motorcycles.


LTC was given this piece of (where LCC's new office is) and then the Ambode administration revoked LTC's management of the bridge and gave the concession to LCC.


The Lekki Concession Company is in charge of reconstructing the Lekki Expressway and has been collecting tolls on the expressway since 2011.

Story!! Who ask u question?

No please. Lagos Ibadan expressway is a national property. Don't bring that wicked elitist toll scheme from Lagos. It is too important to entrust to the Asiwaju company.

Yes, please. That will be the best thing that will ever happen to that road since it was created by OBJ during the military era. In fact, as an indigene of a major town along that route, I intend writing the three state governors whose states are along the axis of the road to be actively involve in the selection of the management company.

No budget was made for Sagamu to Lagos in 2018 budget while outstanding loan is yet to be fully settled since last year October. Surprisingly, all those fighting for balkanization of Nigeria were happy last year when Berger suspended work & the Senate was harassing Fasola when he raised alarm. People like us with stake on that route are never happy. These same people are the ones making noise against LCC. They did not shout against Senate when Julius Berger suspended work.

I am not much concern about what happens on Enugu / PHC or Aba / PHC express way though I pass the route occasionally.

Since the FG had said the road would involve private public partnership & toll would be introduced to manage the roads on completion. The choice of the management company must be based on experience. That road is the busiest interstate road in Nigeria.

Old Federal secretariat at Ikoyi is in a very sorry & bad state, highly dilapidated & abandoned because of hatred for one man (Asiwaju Tinubu) because of enviousness towards Lagos. If they had allowed Lagos to acquire that building as an extension of her Secretariat , it would not have been in a sorry state.

We prefer LCC to any politically established inexperienced management company

If you know how well-maintained Lekki Expressway is, you wouldn't complain about the company's desire to manage Lagos-Ibadan. The govt in Nigeria cannot manage ANYTHING. Any company that would ensure that the road is well-maintained should be given the job. I don't care whether the company belongs to Tinubu, Nnamdi Kanu or the Sultan. Just get the fvvvcking job done!

Shot that trap, what maintenance are you talking about, do you know how much they generate within an hour, not to talk of a month, it's the helpless Lagosian that is suffering the pains,

I was. among the protester on the toll increment and we ask that they (LCC) publish their financial books, but what did do, They simply hired thugs armed to disrupt our protest.

If you must know LCC is a scam, it just a money making venture for Tinubu.
Do you know that his son owns the electronic advertising screen on the tolling station, so that means, the father is collecting from the ground, and the son is collecting from the top, na only Tinubu God do Lagos for,

No wonder he's being fighting for recognition in his own party, this as being is plans all along,

IT WILL NEVER WORK OUT, Lagos - Ibadan is a national property not Lagos,

Mind you I'm a full undiluted Yoruba man, so don't use Tribe sentiment with me,

His wife is in the senate
His daughter is the Iya loja if Lagos State
His son in law is an honorable
And he's the defacto governor of Lagos

What else does he want, he should hands off national assets.

Which stupid maintenance is he doing on Lekki - Epe road. Thief.

Your entire ignorant and meaningless rant sounds more like a love letter or grudge with Tinubu than any manner of sane and rational contribution per the topic of discussion.

I don't even get you ipob's fixation and beef with Tinubu, it's not like the man is responsible for your villages, your existence and communal backwardness.

These clueless villagers don't know anything, they are used to mediocrity.

Lekki Ikoyi Bridge is the best, the most beautiful, sophisticated and well maintained bridge in Nigeria and it's still shining and looking fresh and new because of the concession, effective management and maintenance.

Oga the lekki ikoyi bridge is a different matter.
Lag ibadan express way is a federal road.

We cannot be paying tax and still go ahead to pay tolls on the road the govt should build. Unless they agree to generate their revenue from adverts placed along the stretch of the road for a certain period like the initial plan with bicourtney.

So no Biafra again? Whenever there is any thread on dangote on nairaland, you see all sorts of insult against him . No objectivity, but out of jealous.

You said you are among the protesters against LCC, I only saw Kate Henshaw on Channels TV that day & later Bar Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa on behalf of Lekki Scheme 1 residents.Only Lagos State House of Assembly can explain better as you have said you did not see anything they are doing there or elsewhere. As for me I see what they are doing.

If you are thinking of Tinubu you may have hypertension. You may get wrong information.

We are not after personality but delivery. Roads in continual maintenance. Street lights at night, relaxation points with security, ambulance, pedestrian bridges, etc. All these will turn the entire area into an industrial hub. Already indusrries & estates are springing up but with management company, more players would be attracted. You have no stake on this road, you are just a passerby. This is my area I want development.

Old Federal Secretariat at Ikoyi is a national property, we don't want our road to be like that.
