Yesterday, 3rd of November the Lekki Concession Company (LCC) announced that it was increasing all its toll fares on both toll gates.This news of increment raised a lot of concerns and worries from lagosians...
The Executive Governor of Lagos State Akinwunmi Ambode through the Commissioner of Information, Steve Ayorinde in a statement noted that the state government had directed the company (LCC) to put the decision “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 are the ultimate beneficiaries of such facilities must always be carried along at all times,” he said.
“Therefore, the proposed tarrif hike cannot be effected at this period in the interest of the public, while further consultations continue”
This is what happens when you have a governor that listens to the worries of his people.
