Why we intervened in Lekki-Epe Expressway management – LASG

The Lagos State Government on Wednesday said it decided to intervene in the management of the Lekki-Epe Expressway in order to have total control of the toll rates being charged users of the road.

Although it said the concessionaire, Lekki Construction Company, would still be involved in the management of the road, the government would solely fund the completion of the project and determine the toll rates, having bought back the rights of the company.

The explanation was contained in a statement jointly signed by the Commissioners for Finance and Justice, Mr. Ayo Gbeleyi and Ade Ipaiye, respectively.

The government said in the statement, “The LCC, which is the special purpose vehicle representing the investors, formally brought it to the attention of the state government that given the rapid rise in interest rates on local loans and other cost parameters, it was compelled to raise tolls currently being charged at the Toll Plaza One from N120 to N144 per car.

“The concessionaire also brought it to the attention of the state government that as provided for under the agreement, tolling would have to commence at Toll Plaza Two. In addition, the concessionaire indicated that unless it realised more income from increased rates at Toll Plaza One and commenced tolling at the same rate per car at Toll Plaza Two, it would not be able to meet its commitments to investors in the project and continue to fund the completion of the remaining sections of the road.”

The concessionaire, it stated, was also ready to commence the construction of the third plaza for toll collection to ensure the continued viability of the project.

The government explained, “The significance of the buy-back, for which the state government deserves commendation, is that it allows the government to take full control over the determination of the toll rates in order to continue to make it affordable for road users. The LCC shall, therefore, continue to operate as a fully commercial entity for the benefit of taxpayers and the larger society.

“More importantly, it will also preserve the ability of the government to complete and deliver the infrastructure by direct budget funding, which was also one of the reasons for the presentation of the year 2013 budget re-ordering to the state House of Assembly.”

Governor Babatunde Fashola had, through a letter dated August 19, 2013, which he sent to the Assembly, requested a supplementary budget of N7.5bn to fund the acquisition of the existing concession, right and toll revenue benefit held by the LCC.

The Assembly approved the supplementary budget on Tuesday.

The government said on Wednesday that the buy-back arrangement was not a unilateral action, adding that the decision was taken after due consultation with the stakeholders, and that the option was provided for in the concession agreement.

Meanwhile, a civil rights activist and lawyer, Mr. Ebun Olu-Adegboruwa, said in a statement on Wednesday that he would not withdraw the suit he filed against the state government and the LCC on the project unless the details of the concession agreement were made public and the road made toll-free.

“The major issue is that the road concession was a fraud on the people and residents of Lagos. Till now, the road construction of over 49 kilometres to Epe has not extended up to Ajah, leaving the people to contend with unending traffic gridlock every day, paralysing businesses and movements,” he said.

Olu-Adegboruwa urged the Lagos State House of Assembly to set up a judicial commission of enquiry to probe the project and called for its re-awarding.

One of our correspondents, who visited the Admiralty Toll Plaza I on Wednesday, observed that representatives of the concessionaire were still collecting tolls on the road.

Lagos cancels Lekki-Epe Expressway concession

AUGUST 28, 2013 BY AKINPELU DADA AND RASHEED BISIRIYU



Controversy surrounding the management of the Lekki-Epe Expressway took a new turn on Tuesday as the Lagos State Government announced the termination of its concession agreement with the Lekki Concession Company.

Already, the state House of Assembly has approved a supplementary budget of N7.5bn to enable the government to fund the acquisition of the existing concession right of the expressway.

The LCC was mandated under a 30-year Build, Operate and Transfer agreement to upgrade, expand and maintain the about 50-kilometre road (Phase I), and construct another 20km of coastal road (Phase II) along the Lekki corridor.

But the firm and the state government came under severe attacks when they introduced what the residents considered as high tolls on the road in 2011 after significant progress was made in the first phase.

The decision of the state government to terminate the concession agreement, it was learnt, followed the lawmakers’ approval of the supplementary budget, which gave it the right to acquire the existing concession rights and toll revenue benefits held by the concessionaire.

Governor Babatunde Fashola had in a supplementary budget proposal letter to the state House of Assembly dated August 19, 2013, requested it to amend this year’s budget owing to unforeseen developments in terms of the state’s internally generated revenue.

Fashola had said, “The proposal for further amendment is largely predicated on the need to fund the acquisition of the existing concession, right and toll revenue benefit held by the Lekki Concession Company, the concessionaire for the Eti-Osa-Lekki-Epe Expressway. This will effectively accelerate the transfer of ownership of the road to the state, leaving the state with wider policy options with regards to that important infrastructure.

“In order to address these issues, we have proposed a two-prong approach namely: re-ordering some expenditure provisions and also directing supplementation of the year 2013 budget. This will entail an increase in the overall budget size by N7.5bn. This is against the background of a projected shortfall of N22.5bn in budgeted internally generated revenues, which now need to be covered by the additional borrowings.”

The Assembly gave its approval to the request on Tuesday in a proposal read on the floor by the Clerk, Mr. Ganiyu Abiru.

The commissioners for Budget and Economic Planning, Mr. Ben Akabueze; Finance, Mr. Ayo Gbeleyi; and Works and Infrastructure, Mr. Obafemi Hamzat, were at the House to defend the proposal.

Following the latest amendment, the revised budget has thus increased from N499.6bn to N507.105bn.

Users of the expanded road have had to part with different amounts, depending on their class of vehicles. The amounts rage from N50 for motorcycles to N120 for saloon cars and tricycles; N150 for Sports Utility Vehicles, minibuses and pick-up trucks; N80 for commercial mini-buses; and N250 and N350 for light trucks and heavy trucks, and buses with two or more heavy axles, respectively.

Fees are currently being collected at the first toll point called the Admiralty Plaza.

The Conservation Plaza was built about 10km away from the first tolling point bewteeen the Chevron Drive and Oluwanisola Estate, but the collection of tolls has not started.

A human rights lawyer, Mr. Ebun Olu-Adegboruwa, took the matter to court to stop the LCC and the state government from enforcing the toll collection until the 10km alternative route was constructed for those that might not use the road.

Calls and text messages to the mobile phone number of the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Lateef Ibirogba, were ignored; while the Special Adviser on Media to the Governor, Mr. Hakeem Bello, said he had yet to get the details and promised to call back when he did, but never got back.

Calls put through to officials of LCC were unanswered, while text messages sent to them were not responded to.
