2011: Fashola Panics, Stops Toll Collection On Lekki-Epe Expressway

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) today suspended toll collection on the Eti-Osa-Lekki-Epe Expressway until further notice, a decision he said, was necessary to allow for due consultation.
 
But we gathered that the state government was compelled to reverse its decision to commence toll collection on the highway from January 3 after taking into consideration the impact it might have on the re-election bid of the governor in 2011.
 
It was also gathered that the loss of Ikorodu Constituency II to a candidate of People Democratic Party (PDP), Hon. Olugbenga Oshin, last week in a by-election formed a major reason for the suspension.  
 
The decision was conveyed in a statement by the Director General of the State Public-Private Partnership, Mr. Ayo Gbeleyi, citing the need to widely engage stakeholders before it starts toll collection from the motorists and other road users.
 
In the statement, the DG said Fashola (SAN) had directed the Lekki Concession Company (LCC) to immediately suspend toll collection on the highway as originally planned.
 
Gbeleyi said the suspension "is to enable the government to further engage with the concessionaire and the concerned stakeholders on the proposed toll which elicited hue and cry from residents within the area recently.
  
He said the government would use the intervening period to address the financial implications of the suspension with the concessionaires and their financiers to maintain the integrity and investor friendly posture of the state.
 
He added that the government would also take advantage of the period to work with the concessionaire and ensure the construction of the road works continue without any hindrances.
 
The DG said the alternative routes, which the government was supposed to construct, had been completed to provide other routes for those who are not willing to use the tollgate.
 
He said the alternative routes "will ensure that road users who desire not to pay tolls would have the option as well as the benefit of enjoying a significant part of the completed road sections."
 
"The government would like to seize this opportunity to once again thank all citizens and stakeholders who have been very supportive of the administration's effort for a radical transformation of Lagos State for their continued understanding and support towards the successful delivery of the road infrastructure," he said.

Before the suspension, the State House of Assembly had raised concern over the Lekki Concession Company (LCC) operations as the Fashola administration failed to set up a board to monitor and supervise LCC activities, which was in the 2004 Bridges, Roads and Highway Infrastructure (Private Sector Participation) Development Board Law.

The House Ad-hoc Committee on Lekki-Epe Expressway Expansion Project then expressed the view that the state government should, as a matter of urgency, constitute the board for Lagos State Roads, Bridges, and Highway Infrastructure (Private Sector Participation) Development Board Law, 2004, to monitor LCC activities.

The committee recommended that the state government should review the concession agreement with the Lekki Concession Company with a view to making the project more acceptable to the people and residents of the state. But none of the recommendations of the committee has been implemented.

Mrs Sylvia Sinaba SAN,Drowns Mysteriously In Oniru Private Beach.

A female Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mrs. Sylvia Sinaba, drowned in the Oniru Private Beach, Victoria Island, Lagos on Thursday while trying to save her secretary.

While the circumstances surrounding the unfortunate incident were still hazy, eyewitness account stated that the late Sinaba, who was a member of the Census Tribunal, drowned with the secretary she had tried to rescue.

It was learnt that the late senior advocate had joined other members of staff of her chamber for the end of year party of the legal firm.

"Her Legal Secretary, who was swimming, was struggling with the wave and she got in to rescue her. In the process, they both got taken by the high wave at the beach," the source, who craved anonymity, said.

The Police Public Relations Officer of the Lagos Police Command, Mr. Frank Mba, who spoke with SATURDAY PUNCH on Friday on the telephone, confirmed that the incident.

Mba, a Superintendent of Police, said the command did not have the details of the incident.

"We just heard that a SAN drowned at the Oniru Private Beach but we have not been fully briefed. So, we cannot make any comments on it until we complete our investigation into what had happened. A legal practitioner, Mr. Festus Keyamo, described the late Sinaba as an outstanding lawyer.

"She was a rare breed, brilliant, dedicated, committed learned friend. Even in death, she took the risk to help humanity. She was a shinning legal star," he said.
