Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Friday launched the Uber Boat at Five Cowries Boat Terminal in Ikoyi.
The Uber Boat is expected to provide a strategic intermodal transportation infrastructure for the teeming population of Lagos State.
The newly launched water taxi service, which would be manned by Uber Boat Pilot, would ultimately change the water transportation industry in Lagos and give succour to Lagosians who are daily confronted with an obstinate traffic logjam.
The event was witnessed by Lagos State Commissioner for Transport, Fredrick Oladeinde; the Managing Director/CEO, Lagos State Ferry Services, Abdoulbaq Ladi Balogun; General Manager, Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA), Oluwadamilola Emmanuel; General Manager, Uber West Africa, Lola Kassim; and Uber Country Manager, Tayo Oyegunle.
Lagos State has a total area of 3,577 km2 about 22 per cent of which is water. It is the smallest state in Nigeria in terms of land mass.
