The Lagos State Government has announced that it will begin enforcing the E-call-up system for trucks operating along the Lekki-Epe corridor starting Friday, August 1, 2025.
This follows months of strategic planning, stakeholder consultations, and public awareness campaigns.
In a statement posted on its official website, the government disclosed that the Ministry of Transportation has implemented key recommendations to support the rollout, including reducing the park usage fee from N12,500 to N10,000 and preparing seven designated truck parks, which are now fully operational.
To ease the transition, the ministry—working with E-Call Up Technologies—has commenced a familiarisation exercise at the approved parks. This includes free system testing and on-site guidance for truck drivers on registration and usage procedures.
So far, around 10,000 trucks have been registered, with more currently undergoing the onboarding process.
It said, ‘’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 is calling on all stakeholders to finalize their registration and collaborate with relevant agencies to support the effective implementation of the initiative, which represents a significant move toward building a smarter, more efficient transportation system in the state.
Earlier in July, the Lagos State Government and major transport unions reached an agreement on a new N10,000 enforcement fee for trucks operating along the Lekki-Epe corridor under the electronic call-up system, effectively ending weeks of tension and disruptions in petroleum product lifting.
The resolution was achieved during a high-level meeting held at the Dangote Refinery, facilitated by the Lagos State Government in partnership with Dangote Industries Limited.
The Lekki-Epe corridor serves as a critical hub in Nigeria’s energy distribution network, owing to the presence of the 650,000-barrels-per-day Dangote Refinery and supporting infrastructure.
The earlier imposition of a N12,500 levy by the state government prompted petroleum marketers and truck owners to suspend operations, describing the fee as excessive and unsustainable.
The shutdown disrupted the movement of products from both the Dangote Refinery and the Lekki Deep Seaport, threatening vital national supply chains.
