Truck transit park system not working —Truckers

 

The Electronic truck call-up system, operated by the Truck Transit Park, TTP, is not working for the Oshodi, Mile2 inward Tin-can Island Port, trucker plying the route have said

Speaking with the press on the issue, the National president of the Council of Maritime Truck Unions and Associations, COMTUA, Adeyinka Aroyewun, said the government lacks the political will and responsibility to address the problem facing the haulage industry, Instinct Newspaper gathered.

He said he had warned earlier that the introduction of the Truck call-up system would not work because of the absence of the relevant infrastructure and adequate planning.

Aroyewun said his warnings then fell on deaf ears, noting that the consequences are long queues and trucks parking along the port access.

He described the call-up system as a fraud, saying: “You see the government lacks the political will to tackle the gridlock.

This is an indication to everybody that the so-called electronic  truck call-up regime has actually collapsed and it is because of the incompetence of the handlers.

The problem from time is not the electronic truck call-up system, it is congestion inside the port.

From the holding bays, you have to move the containers to the port, After keeping it at the holding bay there must be a means to get the container to the port.

When you need it at the port, you then request it but nobody is following up on it.

The holding bay will just load it on trucks and send it to the terminals and there is a disconnect between terminal operators and the so-called electronic call-up administrators.

We are just paying for the matching of the containers which is consuming N10,000 of our hard-earned income. It is nothing but fraud Instinct Newspaper gathered.
