Truck operators seek reforms to Lekki call-up system

Stakeholders in Lagos' maritime industry, including the Lagos State Truck and Cargo Operators Committee, have called for reforms to the existing truck call-up arrangement along the Lekki–Epe axis. They argue that the current system needs review to address traffic challenges and better reflect the realities of operations along the corridor.

Chairman of LASTCOC, Lukman Zangalo, emphasized that the meeting discussed the need to prevent traffic crises, accidents, and loss of life on Lagos roads. Zangalo urged all stakeholders to cooperate with the Lagos State Government in restoring sanity and safety in the port corridors. The meeting also proposed stricter compliance with established call-up and traffic management arrangements, with the aim of improving port efficiency and preventing avoidable incidents.
