Expect a push back

The proposed increase may not be smooth sailing for the company, as commuters are likely to protest its timing. Many of them have also questioned what extra value will be derived from the increase.  The company did not give any reasons why it was embarking on the increase. The Lagos State House of Assembly, could decide to weigh in and ask for a suspension of the increase.

The state government, ironically in 2013, had given the need to protect users from indiscriminate increase in tolls, as the reason for its acquisition of the concession rights and toll revenue benefits held by the Lekki Concession Company (LCC). Prior to the acquisition, the company was owned by a consortium of investors led by ARM Plc.

Implications of an increase

An increase in toll fees will lead to an increase in transport fares along those routes, especially by danfo buses whose drivers will be reluctant to absorb the added cost. Delivery costs will also go up, as the toll fee for heavy trucks went up more than a 100%.
