We have sighted a report by DAILY POST and the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) has indicated plans to withdraw operational licenses of some boat operators in Lagos.
This comes after an increase in boat mishaps in Lagos lately and it was revealed in a statement by the Area Manager of NIWW, Sarat Braimah.

According to her, the agency will now have no mercy with any boat operator who flouts any of the directives given by the agency.
In her statement, she reads;
“Those afraid of water transportation will adhere to safety measures, particularly during turbulence. Time has also come for passengers to take responsibility, listen, and obey boat crew when emergencies or turbulence occur.
The new dawn will be implemented to the letter with passengers addressed in English, Pidgin English, and the three major dialects – Igbo, Yoruba, and Hausa before takeoff.”
