The Lagos State Government has announced that 28,000 trucks have been registered on the Lekki‑Epe electronic call‑up system, which was created to manage truck traffic along the corridor.
Commissioner for Transportation Oluwaseun Osiyemi made the disclosure on Thursday at a stakeholders’ meeting that included representatives from the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), terminal operators, transport unions and other industry participants.
Osiyemi warned that, despite the growing number of registrations, some truck operators continue to use the Lekki‑Epe corridor without obtaining approval through the electronic call‑up platform. He added that the government will soon enforce stricter measures to ensure full compliance.
The meeting, which was attended by Permanent Secretary Olawale Musa of the Ministry of Transportation, aimed to review progress and challenges related to the implementation of the E‑Call‑Up system around the Dangote Refinery, Lekki Free Zone and Lekki Deep Sea Port corridor.
The consultant overseeing the E‑Call‑Up project reported that about 11,000 transport operators had registered on the platform, while roughly 28,000 trucks had been recorded in the system.
Other attendees included General Manager of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) Olalekan Bakare‑Oki, Director of Transport Operations Engr. Olasunkanmi Ojowuro, NUPENG officials, terminal operators, E‑Call‑Up consultants, ministry directors and other transport sector stakeholders.
Lagos State began enforcing the electronic call‑up system for tankers and articulated vehicles on the Lekki‑Epe corridor in 2025. The initiative was launched to avoid the traffic congestion that previously plagued Apapa by replacing random truck parking with a coordinated, technology‑driven scheduling process.
Under the system, truck operators must register online, upload their “Authority to Load” documents and await electronic clearance before accessing the Lekki‑Epe axis.
