E-Call Up: NPA Designates 17 Truck Parks, to Deny Erring Truck Owners Access into Ports
The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) weekend identified designated truck parks in Lagos where truck owners are expected to use under the electronic call up system, insisting that those who chose not to use the approved truck parks would be denied access into the ports.
No fewer than 17 of the designated truck parks were identified in Lagos.
In a statement signed by the Assist General Manager, Corporate and Strategic Communications Division , Mr Ibrahim Nasiru, the authority said the e-call up system has been a success despite teething problems.
The statement said, “Two weeks after the introduction of Eto, the electronic truck call-app, the Authority is pleased that operations have justified the conviction that we have finally found the solution to the problem of truck congestion in the access roads into the Lagos Port Complex and the Tin Can Island Ports
“Although, we have experienced teething problems as would be expected of innovations like this, the Authority is pleased that these issues are being tackled as they arise, and that steady progress is being made in the process”.
The authority explained that as part of efforts to deepen the impact of Eto and make the movement of trucks more seamless, it took a decision after consultations with stakeholders to categorise trucks parks as batching points for all trucks doing business at the ports.
The statement added, “Transporters and truck owners who do not use the approved truck parks based on the categorisation would be unable to access the ports.
The authority said it was working with Nigerian Export Promotion Council to arrive at a more conducive environment for the operation of export cargo owners, adding that the truckers in this category should ensure they complete all documentation required by the Nigerian Customs Service, Terminal Operators and Shipping Lines before approaching the ports.
It warned that those who fail to complete the documentation would be denied access into the ports.
The Authority commended the Lagos State government for the commitment to ending the truck congestion through enforcement.
The NPA also said it was grateful to all stakeholders and associations for their cooperation towards the successful implementation of the regime of reforms and hereby solicits continued support.
