Meanwhile, TTP had said that the call for the scrapping of the electronic call-up system code-named, Eto, represented personal views and not those of the agents. In a recent statement, the Corporate Communications Manager of TTP, Nancy Nnamdi, said that the information in the reports was inaccurate. The management of the NPA had in February 2021 introduced the electronic call-up system for trucks at the ports in Lagos to end the gridlock witnessed on the road. The e-call-up system was launched alongside an app called Eto, through which truckers book turns to enter the port. Some truckers had reported that the platform had failed to address the congestion along port access roads.
