Lagos unveils four new jetties

The Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Wednesday, inaugurated four newly-constructed jetties, promising to serve Lagosians �to the best of our ability,� in his second term.

The new jetties include the Ijegun-Egba jetty, Ilashe jetty in Amuwo-Odofin, Isalu-Ajido jetty, and Marina-Badagry jetty.

The unveiling, which took place simultaneously in the four locations, formed part of the programmes lined up for Sanwo-Olu�s second term inauguration.

The governor, who spoke at the unveiling of the Ilashe jetty, promised not to take the loyalty and support towards his administration for granted, adding that �we will serve you to the best of our ability and deliver more dividends of democracy in our second term that will commence on Monday next week.�

�The jetty being inaugurated today is in furtherance of our commitment to promote water transportation as a key component of our inter-modal and integrated transportation system,�� he said.

Represented by the Head of Service, Hakeem Muri-Okunola, at the Ilashe jetty; and the Commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure Development, Kabiru Ahmed, at the Ijegun-Egba jetty, Sanwo-Olu assured Lagosians of his commitment to complete all the ongoing construction of new jetties, promising �we will also not relent in providing necessary equipment and sustaining enforcement of regulation to ensure safety on our waterways.�
