Truck Transit Parks Joining Single Window Platform, Handles 900,000 Trucks

Truck Transit Parks Limited (TTP), the operator of the electronic call-up system (ECO), states that it is working closely with relevant government agencies to integrate the platform onto the federal government’s single window system, scheduled for rollout in the first quarter of 2026.

The managing director of TTP, Jama Onwubuariri, disclosed this at a roundtable meeting with the Shipping Correspondents Association of Nigeria (SCAN) in Lagos.

Onwubuariri also revealed that over 900,000 trucks were processed into Nigerian ports through ETO platform in 2025.

According to the TTP boss, the technology firm is also extending ETO services beyond Lagos to other states of the federation.

“On the infrastructure side, we are currently expanding to other states in Nigeria, such as Cross River, Abia, Kaduna, Bauchi and Yobe states. These are the states with which we are currently in talks.
We will deploy ETO both as a traffic management and as an infrastructure management solution to them. So, by next year more development will unfold,” he stated.
He added that TTP will introduce new technologies in 2026 to enhance cargo evacuation from the ports.
Onwubuariri explained that TTP had continued to deploy modern traffic and infrastructure management technologies to support shippers, transporters, port operators, terminal operators, and FMCG companies.
“And that is what we have done for the past five years,” he said.
Welcoming the TTP delegation, the President of SCAN, Moses Ebosele, reaffirmed the association’s commitment to providing an open platform for engagements within the maritime industry.
Ebosele noted that “our doors remain open to all stakeholders within and outside Lagos.”

Speaking further on TTP’s 2026 roadmap, Onwubuariri said, “We are stepping up the system to ensure that new technologies are deployed to reduce human interference. We are currently investing in an Electronic Tagging System. We have also designed what is called an e-column Interchange Transaction Log and the YAD traffic management solution, among others, to eliminate delays.”

He explained that the innovations are targeted at improving truck movement, guaranteeing cargo for registered truckers, and boosting security around port access routes.

Giving insight into the Electronic Tagging System, he explained, “The truck has a tag which reads off cameras and e-tag readers that are at the port gate. The driver arrives, waits, and the barrier opens because his tag is read by the tag reader, and he proceeds. So that identity is maintained for that truck throughout the life of that truck in the maritime business. And you can use that Electronic Tagging System to enter multiple facilities.”

On the status of TTP’s operating licence, Onwubuariri expressed optimism that it would be renewed, given the improvements the ETO system has brought to port operations.

“Everything that needs to be done on our part for the license renewal has been done, because we have what they call the performance indicators. We have presented our request for a new license to be submitted. The feedback we get is that it’s under review, so it’s not in our hands. Our job is to make sure that those things in our contract are done, and we’ve done that. And then the requests that our contract requires us to do are also done. So the next step is with the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA).”

Highlighting the economic benefits of the ETO system, Onwubuariri referenced a report by the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI).

“In 2019, there was a report by the Lagos Chamber of Commerce which says that Nigeria is losing $1.7 billion annually due to port congestion. The money is being lost to the time factor, the delay in export and import of goods and services,” he recounted.
