The Lagos State Government has vowed to impose stiffer sanctions on boat operators that fall short of the specified standards of commuting on Lagos waterways

The state waterways agency also promised to enforce safety measures and stop substandard practices in the sector.

At a recent interaction with broadcast journalists, the General Manager of LASWA, Mr. Oluwadamilola Emmanuel said that the agency had done so much to reduce the issue of boat mishap to the barest minimum.

Recall that there were two major boat mishaps within one week claiming over 15 lives within Lagos waterways.
