Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has launched a ferry route from Badagry to Marina.

AbdulBaq Balogun, managing director of Lagos State Ferry Service (LAGFERRY), spoke at a meeting heralding the launch of the terminal.

Balogun said the agency has commenced operation from Badary to Liverpool in Apapa and CMS/Marina in the morning and CMS/Marina to Liverpool to Badagry in the evening.

This, he said, would ease congestion on Badagry Expressway following reconstruction and rehabilitation of the road.

According to him, the state is committed to improving water transportation to ease traffic by procuring modern boats, rehabilitating and constructing jetties, opening routes, and providing hi-tech safety equipment.

“Today is a milestone in our journey to foster sustainable and efficient transportation in Badagry axis,” he said.

Represented by Director of Admin and Human Resources, Bunmi Mofunlewi, Balogun said LAGFERRY will operate the terminal/jetties to transport passengers from Badagry to Liverpool to CMS/Marina in the morning,and in the evening will return them to Badagry.

“The commencement of operation is a testament to our commitment to providing convenient and eco-friendly options to traditional means of travel,”

“The ease of access reduced travel time, and increased mobility options will contribute to catalysing growth and attracting investment,” he said.

He said the terminal will be served as a hub for tourism and recreation to boost the economy and give visitors an experience of the beauty of our waterways.

Balogun, assuring passengers that safety is guaranteed at LAGFERRY, said,

“All our passengers are insured, our captains are professionals and trained. We provide life jackets to our passengers and they can win cash by buying tickets through collaboration with Eko Token….”

Hundogan Samuel,Agoloto of Badagry, hailed the state for the jetty, adding indigenes should be part of those employed to drive the initiative.
