The Lagos State Government has designated five operational parks for trucks in the Lekki-Epe corridor as part of a comprehensive strategy to manage truck movements and alleviate congestion. 

These parks include Hog Marketing Limited in Okorisan, Epe; Nilmage Two4Seven in Poka, Epe; Goldspeed Freight Agency Ltd. opposite Dangote Refinery on Lekki Coastal Road; Diamond Star Ports and Terminal Ltd. in Abule Panu, Lekki-Epe; and Tal Concept Ltd. at HFP Brick Industry on Lekki-Epe Expressway.

The initiative is in preparation for the launch of an innovative e-call-up system on August 1, 2024, which aims to prevent the traffic issues that have plagued areas like Apapa and Tin Can Ports.

The system, driven by technology and sustainability, will regulate truck movements to ensure smoother logistics operations within the corridor.

An important component of this strategy is the mandatory installation of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags on all trucks. 

These tags will facilitate automated tracking and management of truck movements, greatly enhancing efficiency and safety. Measures such as the separation of wet and dry cargo and vehicle inspection services at the parks will also ensure compliance and simplify operations.

The e-call-up system will go beyond reducing congestion to also address environmental issues and decrease the number of accidents caused by heavy truck traffic. This is particularly important given the increased activity expected from major projects like the Dangote Refinery and Lekki Port.

To support this initiative, the Lagos State Government is also focusing on expanding the road network and implementing intermodal transport systems to enhance free movement and efficiency in one of the state’s most critical economic zones.

In anticipation of the system’s launch, a joint task force comprising state and local government agencies, security forces, and stakeholders is working to clear illegal tankers and other obstructions from the roads.

This interim measure is essential for easing current congestion and ensuring the new system’s successful implementation.

Compliance with the e-call-up system will be mandatory, with strict enforcement starting on August 7, 2024. Trucks that do not comply will be impounded.

The government emphasises the necessity of cooperation from all stakeholders, including truck operators and logistics companies, to ensure the initiative’s success. 

Active participation and commitment from these groups will be key in creating a more efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly transport environment in Lagos.
