Lagosians Finally Embrace Water Transportation
The Lagos State Government formally kicked off commercial waterways transportation last week where the governor formally launched the ferries and he went on tour. The launch which came as a palliative measure after the ban of Okadas and Keke Napep in the State.
Since the launch, water transportation in the State has witnessed significant patronage by Lagosians. At the various terminals across the state, passengers can be seen boarding the boats in great numbers. According to LagFerry, people have been patronising the ferry as an alternative means of transportation as it is fast, timely and affordable.
