The Action Democratic Party, ADP, has condemned the increase in toll fees on the Lekki-Epe Expressway and the Ikoyi link bridge in Lagos state.
The party called on Akinwunmi Ambode, the Lagos state governor, to look into toll the charges and as a matter of urgency reverse the increment.
The party, in an e-mailed statement to The Trent signed by Adelaja Adeoye, the ADP Lagos State publicity secretary, on Sunday, February 11, 2018.
The statement read: “Lagosians have had enough of the daylight robbery by the APC-led government in the state.
“APC is pushing Lagosians and Nigerians to the limit and the assumption that Nigerians cannot act will give them a shocker in 2019.
“It is wrong for the Lagos state government to give backing to a private Lekki Concession Company to exploit Lagosians.”
It also enjoined all Nigerians to obtain their PVCs, saying “it is their power to bring about real change come 2019.”
Lekki Concession Company had on February 1, 2018, increased the toll fare at the Admiralty Circle Plaza (Lekki-Epe expressway) from N120 to N200 for cars, N150 to N250 for Sports Utility Vehicles (SUV), N80 to N150 for commercial buses and N100 for motorcycles. At the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge, saloon cars now pay N300 from N250, SUVs, mini vans, and light trucks now pay N400 from N300 and motorcycles will now pay N200.
