In a new move to enhance efficiency and security within Nigeria’s maritime industry, and further enable the ease of doing business in line with the Presidential PEBEC objectives, Trucks Transit Parks Limited (TTP) has announced a strategic collaboration with the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) to deploy e-tag technology.
The initiative, both parties said, would address challenges related to non-compliance with standard operating procedures in the administration of the electronic call-up scheme, particularly the Minimum Safety Standards (MSS), and to improve the ease of doing business for truck owners and the maritime or blue economy.
In a statement, yesterday, the Corporate Communication Manager of TTP, Nancy Nnamdi, said the decision comes in the wake of the Managing Director of NPA endorsing the deployment of e-tag technology as a viable solution during an expanded stakeholders’ meeting convened on April 23, 2024.
Managing Director of TTP, Jama Onwubuariri, said: “We are dedicated to investing hundreds of millions of naira in this project because we firmly believe in the long-term sustainability of the port ecosystem and are proud to partner with the NPA and the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy to deploy e-tag technology, paving the way for enhanced efficiency and security, and further enabling and easing the business environment for the nation.”
