The Lagos State Government says it has completed the construction of a modern floating jetty at CMS, Marina.
The government said the floating jetty would enhance safe and comfortable commuting for residents and visitors.
Managing Director, LAGFERRY, Abdoulbaq Ladi Balogun, said the jetty is designed to serve as a strategic connection point to the recently commissioned CMS-Marina Blue Line Rail System.
“The Project is in tandem with the THE MES PLUS Agenda of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration for which the state government is commited to improving facilities for a safe water transportation system.
The Lagos State Government, Balogun said, is aimed at the provision of reliable alternative mode of transportation and improved productivity of the residents.
“The new floating jetty will enable our boats to anchor easily, provide easier access to different parts of the city,
“The Project would also boost economic activities along the Lagos waterways and make passenger disembarking more comfortable and safer”, he stated.
Balogun noted that the floating pontoon jetty is made from strong, durable materials and safe choice for all weather conditions and can ride out a storm without resistance from the water without causing damage to boats due to changing tides.
