In a statement on Tuesday, the Deputy Director, Public Affairs, Ministry of Transportation, Bolanle Ogunlola, said that in preparation for the rollout, the ministry has actively engaged key stakeholders and implemented critical recommendations; the Park usage fee has been reduced from ₦12,500 to ₦10,000, and seven designated truck parks have been fully equipped and are ready for operation.
Ogunlola said, “To ensure a seamless transition, the ministry, in collaboration with E-Call Up Technologies, has launched a familiarisation exercise across the approved parks.
“This initiative includes free system testing and hands-on guidance for truck drivers on registration and operational procedures.
To date, approximately 10,000 trucks have been registered, with more currently being onboarded.
“The initiative aims to streamline truck movements, ease traffic congestion, eliminate illegal parking, and enhance compliance among operators. It is expected to significantly improve traffic flow, safeguard road infrastructure, enhance public safety, and stimulate economic activity along the corridor.
“The Lagos State Government urges all stakeholders to complete their registration and work collaboratively with relevant agencies to ensure the successful implementation of this initiative, which marks another step toward a smarter and more efficient transportation system in the state.”
