FIC Report (Lagos State) – The Lagos State Government has today the 4th of March 2025 temporarily suspended the enforcement of the e-call-up system for trucks along the Lekki-Epe corridor following a meeting with key unions in the petroleum and transport sectors.
The decision was reached after discussions with the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), the Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO), and the Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD).
The disclosure was conveyed in a statement on the official X (formerly Twitter) page of the Lagos State Ministry of Transportation on Tuesday.
“Rising from the meeting which was held at the Conference Room of the Ministry of Transportation, Lagos State, the Ministry yielded to the request of the Union leaders, (NUPENG, IPMAN, NARTO and PTD) to suspend enforcement of the e-call-up system to allow them further engagement with their members,” the statement read in part.
The statement highlighted that the suspension allows unions more time to ensure their members comply with parking regulations. Union leaders pledged to enforce proper truck parking, while the Ministry of Transportation warned that enforcement would resume if violations persisted.
The meeting was attended by Transportation Commissioner for Lagos State, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, Permanent Secretary Olawale Musa, and union representatives.
