The Lagos State Government has said it will increase the number of boats and construct more terminals to open up other areas of the state to water transportation.

Gatekeepers News reports that the Managing Director, LagFerry, Mr Abdoulbaq Balogun, said this in a statement.

“I want to assure you that the agency will continue to partner with tourism companies and entertainment managers to showcase the tourism potentials of the state.

“We are committed to continuing this tradition of entertainment, tourism and more as it relates to one of the pillars of this administration’s agenda. Our barge, MV Adimu Orisa, is available for members of the public to charter for events like weddings, birthdays and shows.”
