He explained that the boats deployed to the route are of world-class standard, safe, comfortable, fast, reliable and eco-friendly, adding that all passengers are also insured on all trips.

He stated that the Badore Terminal, which has commenced full operations, has ample space for passengers’ cars and can be boarded between 6:45 am and 9:00 am to Victoria Island and Falomo, Ikoyi.

A passenger, Laolu Alimi, speaking on his experience from Badore to Five Cowries Terminal, Ikoyi, stated that he had a smooth and fantastic ride with a professional crew, promising to recommend LAGFERRY to everyone in his Badore neighbourhood in view of the current situation in the axis.

Recall that the usual traffic gridlock along the Badore-Ajah-Lekki-Victoria Island axis has worsened in the last couple of days due to long queues at filling stations along the road.

Commuters have had to spend upward of four hours in traffic for a journey from Badore to Victoria Island, which alternatively should take 20 minutes by boat from same Badore to Victoria Island or to Five Cowries Terminal, Falomo, Ikoyi.
