Lagos authorities are deploying rigid concrete floating platforms at transit points across the metropolis as part of efforts to expand marine passenger services and freight operations. Waterfront Infrastructure Development Commissioner Dayo Alebiosu stated the six-sided structures provide stable boarding surfaces at locations spanning Agboyi Ketu, Ijegun Egba and Bayeku, while additional installations will reach Ebute Ero, Ijede, Apa, Mile 2 and Mowo.

The platform modernization supports the €410 million Omi Eko initiative backed by the French Development Agency, European Investment Bank and European Union financing. That program will deliver 78 electric ferries, dredge 15 waterways, expand 25 terminals and integrate digital ticketing through the existing Cowry Card system connecting marine vessels with buses and rail networks. Officials aim to reduce road congestion, lower emissions and strengthen climate adaptation against rising water levels.
