Lagos port truck call-up system cuts cargo transport costs by 65%, according to TTP MD Jama Onwubuariri. TTP, a Nigerian technology and infrastructure company, developed the electronic truck call-up system, Ètò, to address the inefficiencies in truck movement around Lagos ports. Prior to Ètò, trucks faced unstructured access, resulting in lengthy queues, unpredictable waiting times, and extended turnaround times averaging 10-15 days.
With Ètò's implementation in 2021, over 4 million truck movements have been coordinated, demonstrating the scalability of the digital system. The system has reduced truck turnaround times to within two to three days, with an average of 37 hours at Lagos Port Complex and 31 hours at Tin Can Island in 2026. This improvement is attributed to automated sequencing, coordinated releases, designated parks, and enhanced control over access to port corridors.
Despite this, terminal processing capacity, cargo documentation, and road infrastructure still impact turnaround times. TTP aims to expand its intelligent mobility solutions to other Nigerian corridors and logistics environments across Africa.
