Trucks Transit Parks Limited (TTP) has emphasised the need to deploy the Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID)/E-tags and the E-callup Interchange Transaction Number (EITN) to solve the challenges facing Lagos ports.
The deployment of the system will streamline truck movements within the ports and also tackle the resurface gridlock around Apapa corridors.
This was reiterated during a recent Stakeholders Engagement Forum held at the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) Headquarters, aimed at assessing the efficiency of the Electronic Callup System amid the resurgence of traffic gridlock along the Apapa Port corridor.
Key challenges discussed during the forum included the drop in terminal efficiency, which has contributed significantly to the persistent gridlock at port corridors; the status of information technology infrastructural installations across park facilities, with some parks allegedly operating without fulfilling standard requirements.
However, TTP’s Managing Director and Co-founder, Jama Onwubuariri, emphasised the importance of deploying RFID/E-tags and EITN, stating that the deployment of RFID/E-tag and EITN is pivotal to addressing the challenges faced in the Lagos ports.
“TTP is committed to providing innovative solutions that enhance efficiency, reduce congestion, and create a seamless experience for stakeholders in the maritime sector.”
Trucks Transit Parks Limited, a technology company dedicated to providing tech-based mobility solutions in Africa, continues to play a pivotal role in reducing congestion in the Apapa port economic zone.
“With its custom-made software solutions, including ètò, TTP aims to enhance real-time visibility for traffic management, terminals performance, and drivers, contributing to the overall efficiency of the maritime sector,” he said.
