LASG Set to Enforce E-Call Up System Along Lekki-Epe Corridor from August 1 …Over 10,000 Trucks Registered Ahead of Implementation

 



 The Lagos State Government has announced it will begin full enforcement of the E-Call Up System for trucks operating along the Lekki-Epe corridor effective August 1, 2025.

The initiative, which is part of the State’s broader efforts to streamline logistics operations and address chronic traffic congestion in the area, follows months of strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, and public sensitization.

In a statement released by the Ministry of Transportation, the government confirmed that over 10,000 trucks have already been registered on the platform, with additional operators currently undergoing onboarding. As part of the preparations, seven designated truck parks have been fully equipped and are now ready for operation.

To ease the financial burden on operators and encourage compliance, the State Government has reduced the park usage fee from ₦12,500 to ₦10,000.

A familiarization exercise led by the Ministry in partnership with E-Call Up Technologies is currently ongoing. The initiative offers truck drivers free system testing and hands-on training to ensure they understand the registration and operational requirements.

According to the Ministry, the E-Call Up System is designed to enhance traffic flow, eliminate illegal parking, protect road infrastructure, and boost overall safety and efficiency within the corridor. Officials say the new system is expected to significantly contribute to the economic vitality of the area by facilitating smoother logistics and reducing delays.

The government has urged all stakeholders to complete their registration and cooperate with the relevant agencies to ensure a smooth implementation process.

“This marks a significant step toward a smarter, safer, and more efficient transportation system in Lagos,” the statement added.

The Lekki-Epe corridor, which houses several industrial and logistics hubs including the Lekki Free Trade Zone and Lekki Deep Sea Port, has long been plagued by traffic challenges largely attributed to unregulated truck movement and illegal parking.
