The Lagos state government is determined to ease pressure on the residents of Lagosians. Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has said that his administration will invest of water-ways in this new year 2020.
He said: We are prioritizing investment in infrastructure this year to shift the burden of transportation away from the roads unto the waterways as a means of moving our people around safely and efficiently.
“Lagos is endowed with a large body of water that has been under-exploited over the years. This is why we have challenged ourselves to set up an investment in this underutilized channel.
“Work will begin to happen on our waterways and Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA) has been saddled with this responsibility. In terms of the pace of work that is going on our Blue Line Rail project, which stretches from Okokomaiko to Marina, we expect the work to pick up and get Phase 1 of it completed for operations. Also, construction work is to commence on the Red Line that will stretch from Agege to Ebute Metta, this year,”.
