The Lagos State Government will begin enforcement of the E-Call Up System for trucks operating along the Lekki-Epe corridor on Friday, August 1, 2025, following months of planning, engagement, and public sensitisation.
The move is aimed at decongesting the increasingly busy axis, tackling illegal parking, and improving traffic flow and public safety in the area, which is fast becoming a critical economic hub.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Deputy Director of Public Affairs, Ministry of Transportation, Bolanle Ogunlola, said the state has completed preparatory activities including key stakeholder meetings and the operational readiness of seven designated truck parks.
“To ensure a seamless transition, the ministry, in collaboration with E-Call Up Technologies, has launched a familiarisation exercise across the approved parks,” Ogunlola said.
The initiative includes free testing of the system, driver education, and hands-on support to guide operators through the registration and compliance process.
To date, approximately 10,000 trucks have been registered under the new system, with more expected to come on board in the coming days.
As part of its response to stakeholders’ concerns, the state government has also reduced the park usage fee from ₦12,500 to ₦10,000.
“This initiative aims to streamline truck movements, ease traffic congestion, eliminate illegal parking, and enhance compliance among operators,” Ogunlola explained. “It is expected to significantly improve traffic flow, safeguard road infrastructure, enhance public safety, and stimulate economic activity along the corridor.”
Truck operators are being urged to complete their registration and cooperate fully with enforcement agencies to avoid disruption to their operations.
The E-Call Up System is part of the government’s broader smart transport strategy to modernise logistics and reduce the chaos traditionally associated with heavy-duty vehicle operations in Lagos.
