Why Lekki Tollgate should be abolished
On
Ochereome Nnanna
To Lagos dwellers, especially the embattled citizens who live in the Lekki and Ajah axis, the toll plazas imposed on them by the All Progressives Congress, APC, administration in Lagos are tolerated with heavy grudges.
The Victoria Island-Lekki-Ajah-Epe corridor is the only major road out of Lagos that was constructed through the initiative of the Lagos State Government. All other corridors to Ikorodu, Ibadan, Seme/Agbara, and Abeokuta were constructed by the Federal Government.
All the federal roads are pavilioned with complex long bridges, flyovers, drainage channels, and causeways. They are invariably between six to 10 lanes each: much wider and longer than the Lekki-Epe Expressway pioneered by the LASG.
