Court nullifies collection of toll on Lekki-Ikoyi bridge
3/27/2014 11:10:00 AM
Ruling on the suit, which was filed by human rights lawyer, Ebun Adegboruwa, presiding judge, Justice Saidu, J. held that the power of control over all navigable waterways in Nigeria resides in the Federal Government, and not any state government.
He held that from all the documents made available to the court, the only justification for the toll fee on the bridge by Lagos State is the private partnership law.
However, he noted that the law could not apply to the Lekki-Ikoyi Bridge since it was built with the money of the Lagos State Government, without the involvement of any private partnership.
"Thus, since there is no law supporting the toll fee, it is illegal and should be stopped forthwith", Justice Saidu said.
