Lagos State Commences Clearing Of Lagos Waterways Across The State (Photos)
The Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA) has commenced the annual exercise of clearing and removing water hyacinth across Jetties, Terminals, and Routes on the state inland waterways.
The first phase of the project which kicked off today is pegging down the water hyacinth to curtail its movement and infestation across ferry channels, followed by an eventual clearing of the aquatic weed using both manual labour and weed harvesting machines.
The General Manager, LASWA Mr Oluwadamilola Emmanuel in his statement reiterated the State Government’s commitment towards improving safety standards and procedures of the state inland waterways to guarantee the safety of all Waterways users.
He, therefore, advises Boat Captains to always drive with caution during this season while soliciting maximum cooperation of all stakeholders to achieve a safe, clean, and prosperous Waterways.
Below are photos across the terminals in the state.
