He noted that Sanwo-Olu has once again demonstrated his passion for a greater Lagos with the launch of the state-of-the-art ferries that are locally manufactured.
“This is what Lagosians want. This is what the government also wants,” Temitope said.
“It is a modern transport system that will provide effective mass transit for the people, reducing the usage of cars on the road and creating interconnectivity with the waterways, the rails, and the roads.”
