The Lagos State Government has disclosed that over 28,000 trucks have now been registered under the Lekki-Epe electronic call-up system introduced to regulate truck movement around the Dangote Petroleum Refinery, Lekki Deep Sea Port, and Lekki Free Zone corridor.
The government added that about 11,000 transport operators have also registered under the initiative as authorities intensify efforts to prevent gridlock and traffic disorder within the rapidly expanding industrial corridor.
The disclosure was made on Thursday in a statement issued to journalists by the Public Relations Officer, Bolanle Ogunlola.
The statement followed a status review meeting convened by the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, alongside the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Olawale Musa, with officials of NUPENG, terminal operators, and other transport stakeholders.
