The Lagos State Government has commenced full enforcement of the E-Call Up System, introduced to streamline and regulate truck activities along the Lekki-Epe axis of the state.
The technology-driven e-call-up system has been in the pipeline for over two years in anticipation of large vehicular traffic that will be generated by trucks accessing the Lekki Deep Seaport, Lekki Free Zone, Dangote Refinery, and other industries within the axis.
The state government, in a statement posted on its website on Tuesday, encourages truckers to adhere to the system now that enforcement is fully underway.
The government also disclosed that it held several engagement meetings to educate stakeholders on the benefits of the e-call-up system and gave adequate time for all stakeholders to come on board.
Similarly, the enforcement date was adjourned several times to encourage total integration and willful compliance. (Guardian)
