Lagos Water Ways Transportation, Providing Succor To Ikorodu Residents!

These men and women reside in the fast developing Ikorodu area of Lagos state, but work with various organizations in Victorian island, Ikoyi and Lekki . 

With the relative low cost housings, lands and serenity enjoyed by residents of the Ikorodu community, compared to what is obtained in most parts of the Lagos metropolis, Ikorodu is on a daily basis attracting more people.

A major challenge that confronts these residents however, is the heavy traffic situations especially at peak periods , usually between 5am - 9pm on most working days.

This challenge is turning into a thing of the past due to the emergence and gradual popularity of the ferry means of transportation, which transports workers to and fro Idi-Oro, CMS, Lekki and Ajah axis on a daily basis. 

These workers obtain a receipt for a token, pack their car at the parking lot located near the ferry take off terminals in the morning,  and simply get into their rides after they alighted from the ferries in the evening at the terminals which is gradually turning into a bee-hive of commercial activities. 

Ikorodu area is separated from Lagos Island by the Lagoon.
