The tollgate was the epicenter of the October 2020 #EndSARS protest, following the demonstrations by youths against police brutality, among others.
The ensuing events led to the suspension of tolling operations at the tollgate amidst calls for justice for the victims of the shootings.
It also affected tolling at the nearby Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge, where tolling was also suspended.
Tolling on the Lekki Expressway and Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge is managed by Lekki Concession Company (LCC).
But sources told Our Correspondent, that the state government has now resolved to resume tolling at the tollgate and the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge, ignoring public outcry against the move.
“Lagos State Governor (Babajide Sanwo-Olu) has said there is no going back on the Lekki toll fee beginning in the first week of March 2024.
“Training is ongoing for Admiralty Link Bridge at Ikoyi to commence first week of March,” a government source said.
