Trucks Transit Parks Ltd (TTP), an innovative tech mobility Company and pioneer of the Ètò Electronic call-up system announce the Successful integration of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) Nigeria Export Proceeds (NXP) system with its iÈtò electronic call-up platform.
This strategic integration, which became effective on January 3, 2025, represents a significant collaboration between TTP, the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and other key stakeholders, aimed at modernizing & streamlining Nigeria’s export operations, enhancing transparency, efficiency, and overall operational excellence at the nation’s ports.
In a statement issued by the management of TTP and signed by its Managing Director, Mr. Jama Onwubuariri said that under the new regulation, exporters are now mandated to secure an approved NXP application number before booking export consignments.
This requirement, according to Onwubuariri has been endorsed by the leadership of the Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA, in line with government directives to ensure that only consignments with verified, final-stage approval proceed to export processing.
He said: “This new procedure for export bookings also aims to enhance process efficiency by minimizing processing delays at Export Processing Terminals, ensuring that export containers are only released to the port upon confirmation of their status at the final approval stage.
“The integration is also meant to reduce road congestion as export vehicles would now complete their reloading processes before proceeding to the port. In addition, it will bolster the Nigerian economy as a streamlined export process will enhance international competitiveness, attract more business, and generate higher revenue for the nation.
“TTP’s robust technical capabilities have been instrumental in ensuring the flawless integration of the NXP system with the ÈTÒ platform. By enabling real-time verification of NXP application numbers via the NPA-CBN-NXP portal, TTP’s solution ensures that only export consignments meeting the stringent regulatory requirements proceed to the port, significantly enhancing process integrity and security.
“Our team’s relentless pursuit of technological excellence has culminated in a solution that not only streamlines the export process but also reinforces the collective efforts of industry regulators and stakeholders, notably the NPA. We are honoured to collaborate closely with the NPA, the CBN and other partners in ensuring that this integration sets a new benchmark for operational excellence in Nigeria’s export sector. This achievement is a testament to what can be accomplished when cutting-edge technology meets proactive regulatory oversight.”
The collaborative efforts between Truck Transit Parks Ltd, the Nigerian Ports Authority, the Central Bank of Nigeria and other key players underscore a shared commitment to enhancing the export value chain in Nigeria.
The NPA’s proactive role in shaping and enforcing these new guidelines, coupled with TTP’s innovative technological contributions, promises to establish a more secure, efficient, and competitive environment for export operations and by extension, port operations.
This partnership, Onwubuariri also said highlights a forward-thinking approach to tackling logistical challenges and promoting sustainable economic growth.
