The Lagos State Government has launched the Omi-Bus ferry service to enhance water transportation and ease road congestion across key routes, including Ikorodu to Falomo, Falomo to Apapa, Badore to Falomo, and CMS.
The Lagos State Government has cleared dredging pipes that obstructed ferry movement and posed safety risks on the inland waterways leading to Ikorodu.
The Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA) has announced that the implementation of the €410 million Omi Eko water transport project will commence this year and is scheduled for completion by 2030.
Despite these challenges, fares have remained unchanged even after the appearance of water hyacinth in September and October, as operators absorb the costs rather than passing them on to commuters.
The Lagos State Government has announced that it is set to add 13 new jetties to boost water transportation in the state, with the construction of the jetties reaching advanced stages.
