FACTS about Lekki Concession Company (@LCCTollRoad)

The Concession was not cancelled. Former Governor of Lagos State, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode transferred the construction related activities to Lagos State.

@jidesanwoolu @Riddwane @positivebaqi
The State Govt has full ownership of @LCCTollRoad. Under Governor Ambode, The State bought LCC with all its assets and liabilities. So the loans still have to be paid off by LASG through the same @LCCTollRoad.
@LCCTollRoad ... With foreign & local lenders like @AfDB_Group, it borrowed from to develop the infrastructure. The dollar exchange rate has now gone higher than what it was when the loan was initially granted.
@LCCTollRoad provides a round the clock emergency assistance, breakdown and recovery (the only road in Nigeria that provides these services for free)- Road maintenance ( potholes, cleaning and verge clearance,) ....

@gbenga_omo @jidesanwoolu
... - dedicated Police, @followlastma and MAN O WAR - toll free number for emergency and assistance
All the above costs are incurred by LCC.
Even without collecting tolls since October, @LCCTollRoad is still providing the same services to date.
Lest we forget, @LCCTollRoad also upgraded its tolling system less than a year before it was burnt down by the EndSARS protesters.
