I think charging a toll on a state road BY A State Goverment is within the purvey of the " Residual List" in the constitution. If this information is true, it would be challenged in court. |

I thought the said the electronic toll-gate developed fault that's why toll collection was stoppd 2 ease off traffic. All these fake news mongers! Ndi ashiri |

Lekki toll for motorist is still going on.I ve just paid my toll. So far, it is hitchfree as people paid willingly. Some who were not aware b4 were politely shown d alternative route by toll officials. Well we re paying for a good road. But tell d govt, we dont mind paying d toll as long as d road remains in good condition all year round. Lekki resident. |

Check your fact right bros, No Federal Govenment will cancel or suspend toll on Lekki -Epe Expressway. What LCC is doing because of the traffic is that they are allowing motorist drive through the toll plaza freely for a while to ease up traffic build up caused by those who deliberately drove towards the Toll Plaza & refused to pay toll as expected. I guess some are also just adjusting to the first few days of the tolling. They are still collecting tolls now, I commend this innitiative, it shows they are not out to cause untold hardship for lagosian. if they are out for the money irrespective of what happens they wont open the road at interval for free flow of traffic |

odiaero: Hoax!!!! For the fact that fed govt cancels toll on a state road without recourse to the state makes it a grand hoax. However, the people's wish should prevail on this issue. This toll will impact negatively on the people of the area most especially during emergency situations. I wish it was true. |
Re: Victory At Last: FG Cancels Lekki Toll Gate Charges by LilpinkyNE: 3:59pm On Dec 19, 2011 |
LCC is focused specifically on the Eti-Osa Lekki-Epe axis; hence, we can only comment on our experience to date in Lagos State. What we see here is a government that is working assiduously to make Lagos State a better and more attractive place for the citizenry and for investors. While we have no doubt experienced various challenges in executing our project to date, it should be said that this is not unusual by developing world standards, given the scale and pioneering nature of what we are doing in Lagos. We can genuinely say, nevertheless, that there is a spirit of cooperation that we continue to experience when working with Lagos State Government, which we believe demonstrates government's serious commitment to the project and to maintaining an investor-friendly posture. This makes it possible for us as investors to want to stay committed to doing business here in Lagos State. |

Pure, fat misinformation. The gates were only thrown open when the queue was too long and becoming problematic. Same was done yesterday. Tolling has since resumed. They are still struggling with collection mechanism; service time is still averaging 3 minutes per car because of change issues. |
Re: Victory At Last: FG Cancels Lekki Toll Gate Charges by sartorius(m): 4:03pm On Dec 19, 2011 |
they shud reduce it to 50 naira per toll |
Re: Victory At Last: FG Cancels Lekki Toll Gate Charges by Kx: 4:07pm On Dec 19, 2011 |
When this tolling craze moves to say Banana Island for instance, are we going to have BCC,Banana Concession Company? Ikoyi, Ikoyi Concession Company Ketu, Ketu Concession Company Alausa, Alausa Concession Company? If govt meant well without any trace of selfish interest, could nt they have borrowed from world finance houses,incorporate Lagos Concession Company,build new roads under BOT arrangement, Lagos Concession Company-LaCC collects the tolls on behalf of Lagos state govt and use the proceeds to liquidate the loans with which the roads were built? |
Re: Victory At Last: FG Cancels Lekki Toll Gate Charges by Nobody: 4:07pm On Dec 19, 2011 |
@ All, i only said i heard in the bank, i did not confirm it yet, so dont think i have confirmed it, am asking to know too |
Re: Victory At Last: FG Cancels Lekki Toll Gate Charges by 2AMLasgidi: 4:09pm On Dec 19, 2011 |
I can see Bode George trying his hand again on getting the Federal might to dabble on a matter that doesn't concern them. Shame on bad people. The Protest was ill concieved hence it failed to make the required impact. Blackmail will not work where law and order thrives, Our appeal is that LCC may need to reconsider the price of tolling and for LASG to provide more security on the Alternative Road |

ayusman16: pls ask the ACN clown, Residents demonstrating, you politicizing it by calling Bode George, |
Re: Victory At Last: FG Cancels Lekki Toll Gate Charges by Nobody: 4:36pm On Dec 19, 2011 |
Cancel what, it's not possible because the so called road is not a federal road. On the issue of tolling, i think they should reduce the price to 50 to make it easier and faster in case of change wahala |
Re: Victory At Last: FG Cancels Lekki Toll Gate Charges by Orikinla(m): 4:42pm On Dec 19, 2011 |
The Lagos State Government explained the need and provided alternative routes for those who do not want to use the Lekki Toll Gate. Those protesting are just noisemakers. They spend more than that making unnecessary calls and sending useless text messages on their mobile phones. |
Re: Victory At Last: FG Cancels Lekki Toll Gate Charges by ayusman16(m): 4:45pm On Dec 19, 2011 |
Orikinla: Really? Clap for yourself. And you think everybody can afford to pay the toll fares everyday. |
