Notable Lagosians, including Chief Alaba Williams, Bashorun Jaiye Randle, Ade Dosunmu and Chief Adesunbo Onitiri, have urged immediate scrapping of Lekki Tollgate to “alleviate the economic burden of residents and ease free-flow of traffic in the area.”
In a communiqué issued after their meeting, the top Lagosians charged the Federal government on bringing to justice military killers of the peaceful EndSARS protesters at the plaza on October 20, 2020.
The concerned citizens also urged prosecution of arsonists and hoodlums behind destruction of public and private property in the State as deterrent to others.
The gathering, which identified remote and immediate causes of the crisis to include high graduate unemployment and influx of people from other states, deplored alleged meddlesomeness by the political class in the selection of traditional rulers.
