Lagos waterways authority suspends Ikorodu ferry operations
The Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA) said it suspended ferry operations at the Ipakodo ferry terminal in Ikorodu due to an influx of water hyacinth obstructing the smooth navigation of ferries along the waterways.
The management of LASWA, in a statement in Lagos on Saturday, said the ferry operations at the Ikorodu terminal were suspended until further notice.
” Passengers and operators are advised not to attempt to access or utilise the waterways through the Ikorodu terminal during this period for their safety.
” LASWA will immediately be working with EQUUS to continue to look into how to get rid of the water hyacinth along the Ikorodu Terminal,” it said.
The management said it had opened the Ibeshe terminal and “just cooperated with the Nigerian Navy and Association of Boat Operators Ikorodu Division to temporarily utilise the Majidun Jetty.”
It added, “The Ibeshe Terminal and Majidun Jetty are open for use as alternatives during this period. We also intend to open another Jetty shortly in the Ikorodu axis before the end of the year.”
LASWA appreciated the general public’s understanding and cooperation as the government continued to work together to build safe, clean and prosperous inland waterways.
