This call was reiterated recently during a Stakeholders Engagement Forum held at the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) Headquarters, aimed at assessing the efficiency of the Electronic Call-up System amid the resurgence of traffic gridlock along the Apapa Port Access road. In light of these challenges, TTP proposed the deployment of E-tags to improve the electronic call-up system deployed for the Apapa and Tin-Can ports. E-tag readers at entry and exit gates integrate with the access barrier system, improving security and access control. Furthermore, TTP recommended the implementation of EITN for Apapa and Tin-Can Ports, describing it as a key transaction and traffic cycle correlation measure. With its custom-made software solutions, including Eto, TTP aims to enhance real-time visibility for traffic management, terminal performance, and drivers, contributing to the overall efficiency of the maritime sector.
