Our History
2013
While in a protracted traffic jam during a road trip through Benin bypass, Edo State, the Founders discussed gating of stationary trucks across Nigeria and releasing them based on scheduled business needs. They also discussed immediately engaging stakeholders to translate the research into a service.
The Founders of the Company, Mr Jama Onwubuariri and Mrs Jama Onwubuariri (Nee Ivory Jacobs), commenced research into truck parking regulation in Nigeria. They also visited rest stops along the Autobahn in Germany, between Berlin and Munich in September 2013.
2017
The Founders invited Mr Kalu Kalu and Mobolaji Ogunlende, to join them in setting up Trucks Transit Parks Ltd. The company further engaged with various stakeholder groups – the Nigerian Shippers Council, the transport unions, Lagos, Ogun, and Oyo state governments and the Federal Ministry of Transportation – on deploying the Company’s solutions to boost the truck-based haulage economy in the Country.
The founders engaged the services of Mr Benedict Unaegbunam, a partner with Dentons-ACAS Law, as a legal, commercial and strategic advisor on the project.
