He said: “The Ikorodu Ferry Terminal is ready to once again serve as a vital hub for water transportation, providing a convenient and efficient alternative for daily commuters.
“The terminal access and infrastructure are safe for commercial ferry operations.
“Passengers can expect a renewed commitment to safety on the Lagos Inland Waterways, and we appreciate their cooperation during this period.
“The reopening signifies LASWA’s dedication to providing a secure and efficient travel experience for all.”
