Trucks Transit Parks Limited (TTP), one of the tech mobility companies has released findings from a comprehensive 6,000 km road trip across the ECOWAS corridor, calling for urgent digitisation of trade and truck transportation systems, including, truck parking infrastructure, rest stops, and digital truck traffic management systems, to strengthen regional commerce and unlock the promise of regional economic integration.
Over a four-week period, TTP’s Co-Founder and Managing Director, Jama Onwubuariri, embarked on a 6,000km tour that began in Lagos, Nigeria, and covered Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, and Liberia.
The assessment examined transport infrastructure, border post operations, truck rest stops, and the role of technology in improving efficiency along the Lagos–Abidjan–Ouagadougou corridor, one of West Africa’s busiest trade routes.
Findings from the report revealed systemic challenges that continue to impede the free flow of goods and services across borders.
