The Managing Director, Trucks Transit Parks (TTP), Mr Jama Onwubuariri, says the company facilitated the movement of over 900,000 trucks into Nigerian ports between January and Nov. 28, 2025.
Onwubuariri disclosed this at an interactive roundtable with members of the Shipping Correspondents Association of Nigeria (SCAN) on Friday in Lagos.
He said that the figure reflects an improved efficiency around port access, following ongoing deployment of technology-led traffic and cargo management systems.
The TTP boss said that the company had concluded plans to introduce additional technology-driven tools to support faster cargo evacuation from the ports in 2026.
According to him, the new solutions are expected to reduce human interference in operations and accelerate turnaround time for truckers and port users.
He listed the proposed tools to include the Electronic Tagging System, e-Column Interchange Transaction Log, and the YAD traffic management solution.
Onwubuariri explained that the Electronic Tagging System will enable unique identification of trucks and allow a seamless passage through port gates.
According to him, the tag will be readable through cameras and e-tag readers installed at entry points, ensuring that each truck’s identity is traceable throughout its operations.
He also disclosed that arrangements were ongoing to extend the ETO scheme to five additional states, including Cross River, Abia, Kaduna, Bauchi and Yobe.
He expressed confidence that the company’s licence will be renewed by the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), since performance indicators had been met.
Earlier, President of SCAN, Mr Moses Ebosele, had welcomed the TTP team adding that the association’s press centre remained open to stakeholders across the maritime and transport sectors.
