Clarifying the situation of things for its stakeholders and the general public, TTP stated “Our findings reveal that an interim injunction was indeed granted against Mr. Jama Onwubuariri by a judge of the Federal High Court on 11th August 2022.

But lawyers to Mr. Onwubuariri have filed an application before the court for stay of execution and discharge of the said order on the basis that certain facts were not disclosed to the court in the application for injunction such as the existence of the status quo earlier granted by another judge of the Federal High Court in respect of the same facts and the violation of same by the sponsors of the suit was not disclosed in their plaintiff’s application”.

The matter came up for hearing of the application to discharge the court order on Thursday 18th August 2022, but the plaintiff’s counsel informed the court that its processes were yet to be filed, because their deponent, Mr. Temidayo Adeboye, was not available to depose to the affidavit.

Honouring the plaintiff’s counsel’s request, the court adjourned the matter to Tuesday 23rd August 2022 for a hearing of the application for stay of execution and discharge of the interim order.

“TTP wishes to state categorically state that the injunction did not declare or appoint Mr. Temidayo Adeboye or anyone else as the Acting Managing Director of TTP.

“Therefore, all stakeholders and the general public are advised to disregard anyone parading him or herself as the Acting Managing Director of TTP and anyone who transacts with such person does so at his or her own risk.

“Trucks Transit Parks would therefore like all stakeholders to disregard the news with the headline ‘Court Stops Ex-MD from Representing Trucks Transit Parks’ and other related headlines. No change in the management of the company has taken effect and whatever changes do occur will be duly communicated.

“The management of TTP reiterates its commitment to stakeholders and the general public business operations continue uninterrupted”.

Speaking to journalists at a press conference held at the Lilypond Container Terminal in Lagos, Wednesday, Ọnwụbụarịrị stressed that Nigeria’s maritime and logistics sector remains the “backbone of commerce,” given that over 90% of the country’s daily consumer and industrial needs rely on imports delivered through its ports.

He highlighted the challenges that plagued the system for over a decade before 2021: perennial gridlock, unsafe trucks, racketeering, and human interference in port access.

“It was against this backdrop that Trucks Transit Parks introduced the Ètò electronic call-up system in 2021,” he said, noting that the platform combined technology, infrastructure, and stakeholder collaboration to restore order to Lagos port corridors.

Before Ètò (pre-2021):

• Truckers waited 2–3 weeks to access Lagos ports.
• Only <50 trucks evacuated daily out of 1,600 in chaos.
• Nigeria’s maritime sector lost ₦2.5 trillion annually due to inefficiencies.
• Cargo costs surged 450%.

After Ètò (2021–2025):

• 3 million truck movements processed in 54 months.
• 65% reduction in logistics cost.
• 2–3 days turnaround time, down from weeks.
• 225 direct jobs and 700 indirect jobs created.
• 170 new features deployed to enhance transparency and customer experience.
• 400+ trucks daily throughput achieved (up from 40 trucks/day).
• $1.7 million annual savings for maritime industry.
• Contributed to Nigeria’s Logistics Performance Index (LPI) improvement.
• Integration with CBN’s NXP system to streamline exports.
• Strengthened collaboration with key stakeholders including the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Lagos State Government, terminal operators, unions, and security agencies.

“Access to the ports is no longer based on who you know, but on a transparent, technology-enabled process,” Ọnwụbụarịrị emphasized.

Regional Ambitions: From Lagos to ECOWAS

The TTP boss also revealed that his recent strategic tour across West African trade routes—from Ouagadougou to Abidjan and Monrovia, exposed a common dependence on trucking, coupled with inefficiencies at borders and toll points.

He argued that Nigeria’s Ètò model can serve as a regional framework for harmonised truck scheduling, rest stops, and electronic tolling across ECOWAS.

Such integration, he said, would fast-track goods movement, reduce costs, and support the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

“TTP stands ready to partner with ECOWAS governments to make seamless intra-African trade not just a vision, but a reality,” he declared.

Looking Ahead

Outlining TTP’s roadmap, Ọnwụbụarịrị listed three key priorities for TTP, as deepening efficiency at Nigerian ports through data-driven solutions, stronger enforcement, and infrastructure upgrades; expanding technology footprint with innovations like electronic tags, RFID, and AI-powered compliance systems, and driving regional integration by positioning Trucks Transit Parks as a trusted partner in West Africa’s logistics space.

Ọnwụbụarịrị commended the Nigerian media for playing a watchdog role and urged continued partnership in shaping public discourse.

“When the ports work, Nigeria works. And when Nigeria works, Africa prospers,” he concluded.

This strategic integration, which became effective on January 3, 2025, represents a significant collaboration between TTP, the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and other key stakeholders, aimed at modernizing & streamlining Nigeria’s export operations, enhancing transparency, efficiency, and overall operational excellence at the nation’s ports.

Under the new regulation, exporters are now mandated to secure an approved NXP application number before booking export consignments.

This requirement, endorsed by the NPA and aligned with government directives, ensures that only consignments with verified, final-stage approval proceed to export processing.

This new procedure for export bookings promises to enhance process efficiency by minimizing processing delays at Export Processing Terminals, ensuring that export containers are only released to the port upon confirmation of their status at the final approval stage.

It will also reduce road congestion as export vehicles would now complete their reloading processes before proceeding to the port. In addition, it will bolster the Nigerian economy as a streamlined export process will enhance international competitiveness, attract more business, and generate higher revenue for the nation.

TTP’s robust technical capabilities have been instrumental in ensuring the flawless integration of the NXP system with the ÈTÒ platform.

By enabling real-time verification of NXP application numbers via the NPA-CBN-NXP portal, TTP’s solution ensures that only export consignments meeting the stringent regulatory requirements proceed to the port, significantly enhancing process integrity and security.

Jama Onwubuariri, managing director and Co-founder of TTP commented:

“Our team’s relentless pursuit of technological excellence has culminated in a solution that not only streamlines the export process but also reinforces the collective efforts of industry regulators and stakeholders, notably the NPA. We are honoured to collaborate closely with the NPA, the CBN and other partners in ensuring that this integration sets a new benchmark for operational excellence in Nigeria’s export sector. This achievement is a testament to what can be accomplished when cutting-edge technology meets proactive regulatory oversight.“

The collaborative efforts between Truck Transit Parks Ltd, the Nigerian Ports Authority, the Central Bank of Nigeria and other key players underscore a shared commitment to enhancing the export value chain in Nigeria.

The NPA’s proactive role in shaping and enforcing these new guidelines, coupled with TTP’s innovative technological contributions, promises to establish a more secure, efficient, and competitive environment for export operations and by extension, port operations.

This partnership highlights a forward-thinking approach to tackling logistical challenges and promoting sustainable economic growth.

The seemingly relentless chaos of trucks, particularly those headed to and from Apapa and Tincan ports, was a major contributor to this traffic nightmare.

With these ports handling the lion’s share of Nigeria’s imports and exports, the sight of trucks queuing up for miles, enduring weeks-long waits just to load or offload cargo, was commonplace.

The result was a city perpetually enmeshed in gridlock, with businesses hemorrhaging profits due to delays and the spiralling costs of moving cargo. This untenable situation threatened not just the vitality of Lagos, but also the broader Nigerian economy.

Into this bleak picture stepped Trucks Transit Parks Ltd (TTP) with a solution christened ‘Ètò’. The electronic call-up system was conceived as a cure for the city’s truck traffic sickness.

A daunting task indeed, but TTP remained undaunted, and twenty-six months on, Ètò has not only tamed the beast of traffic congestion but has transformed it into a model of efficiency.

In the domains of Apapa and Tincan ports, where Ètò has been implemented, the difference is as clear as day and night.

 The once notorious truck queues have given way to orderly movement, facilitated by Ètò’s scheduling system.

More than 1,400,000 trucks, both port and non-port bound, have been processed and over 90,000 trucks registered on the Ètò application, a testament to its acceptance and functionality.

The Ètò system has slashed the average turnaround time for port-bound trucks from a staggering two weeks to a more palatable 80 hours. Businesses are reaping the benefits, reporting a substantial reduction in cargo movement costs by 65%. The impact on their bottom line cannot be overstated.

Furthermore, Ètò’s technology has delivered transparency and efficiency to terminal operators. Its tailored IT solutions enable operators to have full visibility, effectively managing their trucks, terminals, and drivers’ performance. The era of guesswork and uncertainty is gradually being eroded.

With the improved traffic situation, there’s been a significant increase in the number of company-specific trucks for industries such as manufacturing, FMCG, and oil tank farms, operating in the Apapa environment. This indicates that businesses previously deterred by the chaotic traffic situation are now willing to operate within the area.

However, the transformative power of Ètò should not be confined to Lagos. Ports across Nigeria groan under the same pressure of congestion and inefficiency. Thus, it’s time to replicate the success story of Lagos in these other ports.

As we stand on the precipice of a transportation revolution in Nigeria, there’s an urgent call for stakeholders to embrace this proven solution. It’s time to break free from the clutches of congestion and inefficiency and unleash the potential of our ports with the Ètò electronic call-up solution.

The story of Ètò’s success is a rallying cry for a digitally-driven, efficient future for all Nigerian ports. As we move into this era, it’s clear that the road ahead once choked with traffic, is now open for progress.

Within the period under review, TTP digitally, managed the movement of over 1,165,000 port and non-port bound trucks.

“We are proud to mark this milestone, and to see the positive impact that our technology has had on the industry,” said Mr. Jama Onwubuariri, Managing Director & Co-founder of TTP. “Our commitment to delivering innovative solutions has allowed us to revolutionize the way that cargo is transported in and out of Lagos ports, and we are confident that our continued growth and success will bring even greater benefits to the industry in the years to come.”

Onwubuariri also highlighted the impact of stakeholders in the value chain, adding that the adoption of technology was the best decision in the efforts by the government to decongest the Nigerian ports.

In a presentation, Richard Emenim, the Company’s Head of Corporate Development, said that TTP has established itself as a leader in the mobility technology sector and has received widespread recognition for its innovative solutions and impactful results.

As the company looks ahead to the future, it remains focused on delivering cutting-edge technology and excellent service delivery, and is committed to improving the efficiency and competitiveness of the Nigerian economy.
