LASG Begins Implementation Of E-Call-Up System For Lekki-Epe Corridor From September 23

In a significant move to avert severe congestion by articulated trucks and improve the efficiency of logistics operations within the Lekki-Epe Free Trade Zone corridor, the Lagos State Government has announced the commencement of the e-call-up system for managing truck movements within the axis from 23^rd September 2024.

The commencement date was earlier extended on Stakeholders’ request to give adequate room for full compliance. The e-call-up system is ready for implementation for a sustainable, effective and technology-driven solution of truck movement in the Lekki-Epe Corridor.

Disclosing the new commencement date, the State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi explained that the application of e-call up system will help synchronize the movement of trucks assessing the Lekki Deep Seaport and other industries within the corridor, starting from Eleko junction to Lekki Free Trade Zone.

Highlighting the State and Federal Government plans on road network expansion and inter-modal transport systems to streamline vehicular traffic and enhance free movement in one of Lagos’ most critical economic zones, the Transportation Commissioner opined that the e-call system will control the corridor.

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 prevent the chaotic traffic situations often caused by the indiscriminate parking and movement of trucks within the corridor.
