The plan to reopen Lekki tollgate has been opposed by some Nigerians, especially on social media, with some saying it is an insult to those who were killed by soldiers and police on October 20, 2020. Jamb results

However, Omotosho thinks any form of resistance should not be encouraged.

“I do not think that there is going to be any resistance at all,” Omotosho said in an interview with Arise TV on Wednesday morning.

“It has taken about 18 months for LCC to plan to return to the Toll Gate because it has no choice after borrowing about N11.6bn from local lenders and $31.1m from foreign lenders. So, there is no way that LCC can just stay away from going back to tolling on that road”.
