The Lekki–Epe Expressway is a 49.5-kilometre (30.8 mi) expressway connecting the Lekki and Epe districts in Lagos State.[1][2] The Lekki-Epe expressway was first built in the 1980s and it was built during the Lateef Jakande's administration.[3] It is the second private toll project in Africa.[4] The road construction project was financed by the African Development Bank. The bank provided a loan of up to US$85 million to help finance the upgrade and rehabilitation of the Lekki to Epe expressway in 2008 and it was based on Public-Private Partnership (PPP) under the Design, Build, Operate (DBOT), and Transfer and Rehabilitate, Operate (ROT) framework/business model.[5]
The toll road is managed by the Lekki Concession Company.[citation needed]
