“These new boats will be deployed immediately to take care of the increasing number of commuters and we can assure you that Lagosians are in for a bundle of productive experiences in water transportation because the new boats are equipped with modern technological features and built to international standards", Ladi-Balogun added.
While reiterating the State Government's commitment to a multimodal transport system, he stated that the government is currently building and renovating 15 new jetties across the coastal lines of the State to open up more routes, informing that some of the new boats will be deployed to the new routes of Badagry - Liverpool - CMS; Agbara - Ojo - Liverpool - CMS; Agbowa Ikosi - Ebute Ero - CMS; Ilaje Bariga - Ebute Ero - CMS - Falomo - Victoria Island; Epe - Victoria Island - Falomo; Bayeku - Oke Ira Nla - Badore; Badore - Falomo - CMS Marina and Ibeju Lekki - Falomo to mention a few.
The Managing Director revealed that some of the new boats will be deployed specifically to Epe and Badagry to alleviate and create alternative means of transportation to commuters faced with the challenges of traffic gridlock occasioned by the ongoing road rehabilitation along the axis.
"This is good news for the good people of Epe and Badagry as we will be deploying some of the new boats to the axis to tackle the challenges of road traffic occasioned by road rehabilitation and create reliable alternative means of commuting through the waterways daily", he stated.

Ladi-Balogun expressed gratitude to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for adding more than 20 boats to the fleet of LAGFERRY and commended him for fulfiling his promise to Lagosians that he will double the Agency's fleet capacity from 14 to 30 in the shortest time possible.

“This is a commendable fulfilment of that promise and we can inform you that Mr. Governor is planning to procure more boats before the end of the year to cater for new routes and jetties that are being built constantly to ensure 30 percent of daily commuters travel by water, and open up the huge potentials of the waterways to both local and foreign investors", he enthused.
