Tarzan, however, applauded the Lagos State Government Cleaner Initiative, for removing the refuse, hyacinth and wrecks on the waterways.
“The government has improved towards their responsibility in ensuring a smooth and easy flow/movement of boat on the waterways.
“The surface of waterways across the state is looking good, neat and tidy now while some areas are still looking dirty but not as it used to be in the past.
“We have no records of any boat mishap in the last few months now, kudos to the Lagos State Government and the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA).
