Lekki-Ikoyi Bridge toll collection shows Lagos govt’s lack of empathy – Banky W

Banky W, a Nigerian singer, has responded to the resumption of the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge toll collection in April.

Remember that during the EndSARS protest, the Lekki-Ikoyi Toll Plaza and the one within Lekki ceased functioning in October 2020.

However, in a statement issued on Monday, the Lekki Concession Company Limited (LCC) stated that, while operations will commence on April 1st, payments would not be collected until April 15th.

Banky W responded in a tweet on Friday, saying the decision demonstrates the Lagos State Government’s lack of humanity.

According to him, the timing of the decision was unfair.

He wrote, ”The intended resumption of collections at the Lekki toll gate is yet another example of a serious lack of empathy by the Lagos State Govt. Life in Nigeria has been extremely difficult.

”Lagos State is exhibiting a blatant disregard – not just for the pain felt by all the young people who were hurt by the events of #EndSARS, but also the pain and difficulty being experienced by the majority of Lagosians just trying to survive in these difficult times.”
