Nigerian comedian and activist, Debo Adedayo aka Mr Macaroni says residents of Lekki under the aegis of Lekki Estates Residents and Stakeholders Association (LERSA), have rejected the planned toll gate reopening.
He said the decision was reached at a stakeholders meeting held with the Lekki Concession Company, (LCC), on Wednesday, March 30, 2022.
Recall that the Lekki Concession Company, LCCI had announced that the tollgate would be reopening on April 1st. The Lekki tollgate had ceased operations since October 2020, when military officers opened fire on peaceful EndSARS protesters.
According to Mr Macaroni in a statement, it was a unanimous decision for the planned reopening to be stopped.
He said; ”We are live at the LCC and StakeHolders Meeting.
The Lekki Estate Residents and Stakeholders Association Chairman has announced the decision of all Residents which is NO TO TOLLING!!!!!
All of us present here have spoken! And not one resident is in support of tolling. The timing is wrong, The people are going through a lot of hardship at the moment! We hope the Lagos state government will do the right thing here and suspend the resumption of Tolling. Nooooo!!!”
