The Director-General of the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), Professor Charles Anosike, yesterday received a delegation from the Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA), led by its General Manager, Mr. Oluwadamilola Emmanuel, during a courtesy visit to the Agency’s headquarters.
Discussions focused on integrating NiMet’s real-time meteorological data into LASWA’s operational framework to enhance waterway safety, optimize ferry scheduling, and support smarter, weather-informed transport planning across Lagos State.
Both parties also considered signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to formalize and strengthen the partnership.
The proposed collaboration aims to improve ferry routing, minimize weather-related disruptions, and enhance emergency response capabilities. Additionally, both agencies emphasized the importance of operator training and public awareness as critical components for achieving safer and more efficient water transport services in Lagos.
