Heavy Concentration Of Tank Farms Cause Of Traffic At Mile 2 Tin Can Axis

· TTP To Bring Oil and Gas Tankers Onboard

Truck Transit Parks (TTP) Ltd, operators of the electronic call-up system, popularly called ‘Eto’, has blamed the heavy concentration of tank farms at the Mile 2 Tin Can axis of the Apapa-Oshodi expressway as one of the major reasons the electronic call up system has failed to function optimally.

The company also noted the current road construction and the limited entry point to the port are other factors that have also inhibited the eto system at the Tin Can Island port.

Speaking on Thursday, the Chief Operating Officer, TTP, Mr Temidayo Adeboye, stated that the heavy concentration of oil and gas tank farms have added to the high volume of traffic on the route

He informed that the TTP was perfecting plans to bring major and independent oil marketers onboard the Eto App to further drive down the gridlock in Apapa.

He further said that the next phase of the project is to fully incorporate petroleum marketers and truck drivers into the system to further reduce the traffic gridlock on the Tin-Can-Mile 2 axis.

The COO informed that the company has been able to improve the efficiency of the electronic call-up, such that human interface has been eliminated to a large extent and trucks that fail to follow the right procedure no longer have access into Apapa port.

He explained that the Nigerian Port Authority (NPA) had met with Federal and Lagos state government and have urged the contractors involved in the construction to provide palliatives on the road that will help arrest the situation in the axis.

He added that by the time the petroleum marketers and their trucks are fully incorporated, and the roads currently under construction are completed, the entire stretch of Tin Can road will be free to traffic.

He added that the aim of TTP into this project is to maintain sanity caused by indiscriminate parking of trucks and tankers on the road.

According to him, “We went into looking for possible way to house all these trucks and make it easy for people to pass, and so the need to get parks.

“In trying to address the traffic, we found out that NPA had 50 per cent of the traffic; oil and gas, 30; fast moving consumer goods and others 20 per cent coupled with the extortion going on at the port corridor,’

“And this extortion happens because everyone was using their power and influence to try and get into the port and thereby breaking all rules by parking by the road side.

“We will continue to improve on the technology by removing human interface so that the call-up will work better. Eight months into our operations, Eto has never been hacked as was wrongly perceived by many in the past, however, people used to enter into the port with edited tickets. Today, we have deployed technology that such tickets cannot sail through.” he said.

Also speaking Head Corporate Development of the company; Mr Bolaji Akerele, alluded to the fact that efficiency of Eto App had reduced the cost at which trucks enter into the port down to between N15,000 to N25,000 from between N100, 000 to N150, 000.

He added that resistance to change was one of reasons some truckers are finding it difficult to abide by the rule and procedure of moving into the port under Eto platform.
