The Lagos State Government has announced plans to introduce 25 new ferries to the state’s inland waterways in a few days, aiming to enhance water transportation and make it a more attractive option for residents.
The announcement was made by the Lagos State Commissioner of Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, during a press briefing on the ministry’s achievements at the annual Ministerial Press Briefing, held earlier this week at the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre in Alausa, Ikeja, according to a statement on the Lagos State Government’s official website on Thursday.
The statement also said that the Commissioner highlighted that the new ferries were constructed in line with international safety standards and regulations, facilitated by a private partnership.
