The Lagos State Government has completed the construction of a modern floating jetty at CMS, Marina to enhance safe and comfortable commuting for residents and visitors.
Speaking with newsmen in Lagos, the Managing Director of 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 T.H.E.M.E.S PLUS Agenda of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration which is the state government’s commitment to improving facilities for a safe water transportation system 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, 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.
