Lagos State Launches E-Call-Up System to Regulate Truck Movement in Lekki Free Trade Zone

The Lagos State Government has introduced a new e-call-up system designed to manage and streamline the flow of trucks within the Lekki Free Trade Zone. This digital system aims to enhance operational efficiency and reduce congestion in the area, which has seen a significant increase in truck activity.

Hon. Sola Giwa, Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, announced that the Ministry of Transportation worked closely with key stakeholders, including Primacle, Dangote, Lagos Free Trade Zone, Lekki Ports, the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), and the Ibeju-Lekki Local Council Development Area (LCDA), to finalize and implement the system. This collaboration is expected to facilitate smooth adoption and operation of the e-call-up initiative across all parties involved.

Hon. Giwa emphasized that the government, under his supervision, will ensure strict adherence to traffic regulations and effective enforcement of the e-call-up system to streamline entry and exit for trucks carrying both wet and dry cargo. "My office is committed to addressing the challenges from increased truck activities within the Lekki Free Zone. Through this system and our collaborative efforts, we aim to create a structured, efficient environment that fosters growth for businesses and residents," Giwa said.

He added that the initiative is a crucial step toward sustainable development in the Ibeju-Lekki area, positioning it as a prime location for commercial and real estate investment.
