For di paper wey LCC bring out to say dem dey increase di toll dem write: "e don reach to review di toll money so dat di company fit meet up to pay dia loan money wey we collect from di local and foreign lenders, as foreign exchange dey increase steady for di past few years."
"LCC no fit continue to operate or provide service if we no review di toll tariff," na wetin dem add.
But many people dey wonder why dis reason dey come up, as di Lagos State government bin don take over di loan.

For June 2016, di Lagos State government bin say dem don restructure di N25.3bn credit facility wey local and international lenders bin give dem to buy back di LCC. Na di Commissioner for Information and Strategy Steve Ayorinde bin explain to tori people say di government don pay total of N9.8bn as full and final settlement of LCC debt to dia international lender, wey grant 21.6% reduction to di State.
Im come say local lenders give dem 12% cut, instead of di 18.5% wey bin dey.
So people dey ask: if di State government don take over di loan, which one LCC dey increase toll to pay which loan again?
