The Lagos State Government has urged the people of the State, especially the residents of Lekki and Ikoyi, to show understanding over the proposed reopening of the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge Toll Plaza by the Lekki Concession Company Limited.

The appeal was made by Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotosho, and his counterparts in Transport, as well as Home Affairs, Dr. Fredericks Oladehinde, and Prince Anofi Elegushi respectively, during a stakeholders’ meeting held on Wednesday at the Lekki Coliseum in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos.

The stakeholders’ meeting was held to engage key residents on the plan of LCC to reopen the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge Toll Plaza, and it was attended by key stakeholders which included, the President of Lekki Estates Residents and Stakeholders Association, Olorogun James Emadoye; human rights activists, pressmen, residents among others.

In his words, “We are here to seek your understanding as a government about the matter at hand. We are also citizens of Nigeria. We are all Lagosians. I have listened to all of you talking about our rights, privileges, and how government should be responsible for everything. I also feel that as citizens, we should have some responsibilities.

He also appealed to the people not to be shortsighted, that the decision of the government was not to punish people but to create an enabling environment for more jobs through private sector participation.
