The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Lagos State Ferry Services (LAGFERRY), AbdoulBaq Ladi Balogun, has said its agency is not only providing efficient water transportation to ‘Lagosians’ but also showcasing the captivating beauty of Lagos through its ferry routes.
  
He made this known during a boat ride event tagged: ‘Ignite Lagos 2.0 Water Steeze’ edition. Balogun explained the yearly programme which showcases the beauty of Lagos to the world is aimed at welcoming ‘Lagosians’ to a new year.
  
He stated that LAGFERRY is bringing entertainment and tourism to the waterways. “Apart from the regular transportation on the waterways, transporting goods and people in Lagos, one can have fun in a relaxed atmosphere while on board a boat on the waterways. We are demonstrating to the world that Lagos State is an ideal spot for entertainment and tourism, but this time on the waterways,” he said.
  
He noted that the success of the first edition had translated into several memoranda of understanding and business interests, as private sector individuals had approached them for collaboration.

“I assure you that by next year’s edition, the private sector will have taken it over. When we had International Women’s Day in March 2021, the 2022 and 2023 editions were taken over by the private sector, and it has continued till this day,” he said.
