Lagos State government is set to introduce a modern ferry service and operation for the state.

The focus is targeted at transporting Lagos residents, visitors, goods and services on a daily basis using the waterways transportation systems.

The ferries are expected to transport an average of 480,000 passengers via the waterways. The Lagos State Ferry Services (LAGFERRY) will operate the services.

LAGFERRY recently increased its capacity to 60 passenger boats. They will operate on several routes in Lagos.

Routes that the ferries will ply include Ikorodu-CMS/VI/Apapa, Ojo-Apapa, CMS-Apapa, Badagry-Apapa and Badore-Ijede, etc. It will also incorporate areas like Coconut, Snake Island, etc.

According to the State Commissioner for Transportation, Frederic Oladeinde, LAGFERRY will work hand in hand with Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA). This will enable them to incorporate the ferry system into the central ticketing and billing system, in order to coordinate the modes of transportation in the state.

Safety And Security

According to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, safety on the waterways will be approached from two angles.

The first angle will involve a collaboration between security authorities and the Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA). They will work together to man outposts and boat escorts where necessary.

The second approached would require the clearing of water hyacinths and cleaning the waterways. This responsibility falls on LASWA to open up more routes and increase the confidence of the residents.

Also, the staff of LAGFERRY are also being trained in health, safety, and customer service modules ahead of the launch.

The Lagos Ferry Service will commence commercial ferry operations across waterways in the state next month. It will be launched in commemoration of Governor Sanwo-Olu’s 200 days in office.

Where are the 60 boats? I count not up to 10 boats in the photos. Besides Lagos State Ferry service isn't just about to kick off. I took one of their boats from Marina to Apapa for N100 or N200 some weeks back. Thirdly all those routes already have active ferry services, either by Lagos state or private operators. You may want to edit your post to reflect reality. Thanks.

I just dey reason Hanty Kemi news

Let's pray for hush

I honestly hope this is manage properly well

Commendable.

this is a welcome development if international ferry services is continually rendered

at least Lagos is moving forward, unlike one country that I know

Scam, have being hearing this, all those ones commissioned, why are they not operational

There's hope.

This is how Nigeria will transform if we have more people thinking and innovating better goods and services.

So much opportunities in the mess many see and whine about.

Lagos would have been a real mega city if the power that be had allowed Ambode to run the full course of his tenure. Lagosians lost the opportunity because of lack of foresight and Godfatherism syndrome.

Remove leeches and parasites from lagos and you'd understand lagos is working, 60 percent of people in lagos have no business being in lagos, they barely left thier villages to come and constituite nuisance in lagos..
