NIMA Wants To Operate Water-Ways Transport From Lagos To Ghana

Some local and foreign investors had indicated interest to operate ferries within Lagos as well as from Lagos to Tema in Ghana.The National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA)said.

Mr Mu’azu Sambo, the Manager, NIWA, Lagos Area Office, made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
He said the ferries would move passengers and goods along the sub-region.
Sambo said the services would further ease the movement of people, especially those living on the outskirts of Lagos ``but come to work daily on the Lagos Island ’’.

``Only two weeks ago, we granted approval for an investor at Sierra Leone, who has brought in nine boats. He is already doing a lot of business in IWT (Inland Water Transport) in Sierra Leone
``He has come in here; he wants to run ferries between CMS and Ikorodu, between CMS and Mile 2.
``You know, there are a lot of Lagosians who come from Festac and beyond into Lagos for work every day, and coming by road is a lot of headache.
``So but if they can get transportation by water from Mile 2 straight to CMS, that will help them a lot.
``They can find somewhere they will park their vehicles, enter the ferry and then come to Lagos in 15, 20 minutes.
``Then, there is another company that wants to run between CMS and Tema in Ghana. From this jetty here, they want to move passengers and goods to Tema, West Coast.’’
