The Lagos State Government has given the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) Nov. 10 as a deadline to comply with the e-call-up guidelines.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi, said this in a statement made available to oir Correspondent Thursday in Lagos.
The statement was signed by the Director, Public Affairs, Ministry of Transportation, Mrs Bolanle Ogunlola.
Osiyemi alongside the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Mr Olawale Musa, earlier summoned officials of NUPENG to a meeting over non-compliace with the e-call-up operational guidelines.
The commissioner said failure to comply with the guidelines would result in enforcement measures.
“This meeting centered on NUPENG’s disregard for the online booking system, which has led to cash collections and trucks parking willy-nilly on the roads.
“This chaos is not only clogging the Lekki-Epe corridor but also compromising the efficiency of the entire system,” he said.
Reiterating on the process of the e-call-up system, the commissioner said trucks required validation and clearance before hitting designated parks, a simple process NUPENG seems to be sidestepping.
NUPENG officials in their responses promised to engage their members towards carrying out the order and also attend to other issues raised.
