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

The Lagos State Government has suspended plans to implement its e-Call-Up system on the Lekki-Epe corridor until further notice.

In a statement on Friday, Transport Commissioner Oluwaseun Osiyemi said the decision was made after further consideration of the request of stakeholders for an extension of the deadline to allow sufficient scope for full compliance.

“It is for this reason that the Lagos State Government has postponed the implementation of the e-Call-Up system in the Lekki-Epe corridor,” Osiyemi said.

He therefore called on all stakeholders to seize the opportunity and intensify all preparations so that the technology-based solution for truck traffic on the Lekki-Epe corridor can be successfully launched.

As a reminder, the state government had planned to implement an e-call system on the Lekki-Epe axis to counteract the chaotic traffic congestion caused by truck drivers.

According to the state government, the e-Call-Up system is an innovative digital platform to manage and coordinate truck movements within the Lekki-Epe Free Trade Zone corridor.

It is hoped that the system will help avoid traffic congestion and improve the efficiency of logistics operations in the region.
