Lagos suspends e-call-up system on Lekki-Epe corridor

The Lagos State Government has suspended plans for the commencement of its e-call-up system on the Lekki-Epe corridor until further notice.

The Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, in a statement on Friday, said the decision is coming after further consideration of stakeholders’ request to extend the timeliness in order to give adequate room for full compliance.

“As a result of this, the Lagos State Government has postponed the commencement of the E-Call Up system on the Lekki-Epe corridor,” Osiyemi said.

He, therefore, urged all stakeholders to seize the opportunity to ramp up full preparation in readiness for the successful take-off of the technology-driven solution of truck movement on the Lekki-Epe corridor.

Recall that the state government had planned to commence the e-call system operation on the Lekki-Epe axis to tackle the chaotic traffic gridlock being caused by truckers.

According to the state government, the e-call up system is an innovative digital platform designed to manage and coordinate the movement of trucks within the Lekki-Epe Free Trade Zone corridor.

It is hoped that the system will help to prevent traffic congestion and improve the efficiency of logistics operations in the area.
