Come January 1, 2020, the Lekki Concession Company will no longer accept cash payment at the the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge.
Rather, it will begin the implementation of cashless operations.
This was made known by the Managing Director of the LCC, Yomi Omomuwasan, while addressing the press on Thursday.
Omomuwasan, who noted that the firm had upgraded its registered users into its newly installed system, added that one device of payment would be used for its two facilities (the road and the bridge).
According to him, it was imperative to begin the cashless policy to ensure traffic management and reduce congestion around the toll plaza.

To that effect, he said that various means of cashless payment have been devised by the company for users for smooth passage.
Such include; the e-TAG, prepaid cards, contactless cards and payment vouchers.
“This means that unlike what we have now that some pay through their device and some pay through cash, we will be having various systems of paying apart from cash, to go through the bridge.
“We have launched the LCC mobile app that can be used to register to get the e-TAG, to top up account without coming to any of our offices, to pay if you do not want to use the card or the voucher or other means of payment and to speak with the customer care services.
“For our customers who are not aware of the cashless policy, we have devised a means whereby the road user can get the preloaded card, which is ready-to-use as it has been activated,” Omowuwasan stated.
