 FG to ban wooden boats on inland waterways


The Federal Government through the National Inland Waterways Authority has said that it is moving towards phasing out wooden boats on inland waterways.


The Managing Director of NIWA, Bola Oyebamiji, made this known to editors during an interaction in Lagos.


Speaking during the interaction, which focused largely on the safety of the waterways and the expansion of water travel, Oyebamiji explained that wooden boats constituted over 90 per cent of boats on the waterways.


Oyebamiji said they accounted for the majority of accidents on the waterways nationwide.


He said this was large because they had no regard for operational rules, “which included not traveling at night, overloading and failure to use life jackets by both operators and passengers.”


According to him, traveling at night is a criminal offence.


“Most of them have no light at all. Overloading is also an issue. And the boats are piloted by people of the lowest education in Nigeria,” he stated.
