The launch will draw distinguished government officials, development partners, key stakeholders, community leaders, and the press to witness the debut of this transformative initiative.
“Scheduled to start at 10:00am, the event will feature appearances by dignitaries, compelling keynote speeches, a virtual overview of the Omi Eko Project, and the ceremonial unveiling by Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu,” LASWA said.
The Omi Eko Project is poised to revolutionize water transportation landscape of Lagos by integrating innovative technology, strengthening terminal infrastructure, and championing environmental sustainability.
“With the deployment of over 78 high-capacity electric ferries, digital ticketing systems, intelligent terminals, and safety innovations, the project will significantly reduce commute times and establish a reliable, modern transportation option for millions,” the organizers clarified.
The Five Cowries Terminal, a central hub of intermodal transport in Lagos, will serve as the perfect location for this launch, symbolizing the seamless integration of land and water mobility as outlined in the Lagos Urban Mobility Plan, the government elaborated.
