Implementation of e-call up system on Lekki-Epe corridor begins Sept 23

Lagos State Government is set to introduce an electronic call up (e-call up) system for managing truck movements within the Lekki-Epe corridor.

The State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi, made the disclosure in a statement on Sunday.

He said that the system would be introduced on Sept. 23.

The statement was signed by Mrs Bolanle Ogunlola, Deputy Director of Public Affairs of the ministry.

Osiyemi said that the introduction was a significant step to tackle severe traffic congestion caused by indiscriminate parking and movement of articulated vehicles.

“The commencement date was earlier extended on stakeholders’ request in order to give adequate room for full compliance.

“The e-call up system is ready for implementation for a sustainable, effective and technology-driven solution in the Lekki-Epe corridor,” he said.

Osiyemi said that the application of the e-call up system would help to regulate movement of trucks accessing the Lekki Deep Seaport and other industries within the corridor, from Eleko Junction to Lekki Free Trade Zone.

He said that, in view of the state and the Federal Government’s plans for road network expansion and an inter-modal transport system, the e-call up system would streamline vehicular movement in one of the most critical economic zones.

The commissioner quoted the Special Adviser to Lagos State Governor on Transportation, Mr Sola Giwa, as saying that an interim arrangement was being made to decongest the roads through evacuation of illegally-parked articulated vehicles.

He noted that the special adviser was saddled with implementation of the e-call up system.

“The e-call up system, an advanced digital platform, is designed to regulate the entry and exit of trucks in the Lekki-Epe area by scheduling and coordinating their movements.

“This system will help to prevent the chaotic traffic situations often caused by indiscriminate parking and movement of trucks within the corridor.

“The Lekki-Epe corridor, a key economic hub in Lagos, is home to numerous industries, including the Lekki Free Trade Zone, the Dangote Refinery, and the Lekki Deep Sea Port.

“Efficient movement of goods and services in this area is crucial for the state’s economy, making the e-call up system an essential tool for sustainable development,” the commissioner quoted Giwa as saying.

I hope it works

E- call up for substance-consuming drivers, that behaves anyhow, with zero understanding of road traffic signs

Science and technology goes hand in hand with human capital development. If the later is not developed, the former will find it difficult to function. The reason why most things abroad are done electronically and people queue behind to follow the rules of technology.

O moved away from Lagos proper because of overcrowding and noise, no these people don follow me reach my quiet abode.

They should implement a pipeline system that takes the finished products away from the Epe Lekki area to other parts of Nigeria.

SMH.

If people could cool down and analyze the FRAUD associated to this touted E-Callups that is fast gaining ground in Nigeria. FYI, it’s nothing more than mere Extortion and Fraud, forget the Packaging given to it by Nigerian press. It is pure Fraud.

If you doubt me, ask any truck owner about ETO callup in Apapa/Tincan, Also ask about EPT(Export processing terminal), Huge Huge Fraud that is well packaged and publicized by the press. The Syndicate called NPA is coordinating this operation because of lack of unity and selfish interest of the stakeholders in the industry. Who bears the effect? WE the Consumers.
