To further ease traffic congestion and promote intermodal transportation, the Lagos State Government, through the Lagos Ferry Services, LAGFERRY has launched a new ferry route connecting Ijede in Ikorodu to major commercial hubs on Lagos Island, including Victoria Island, Falomo, CMS, and Ebute Ero.
The new route is part of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s drive to strengthen safe, reliable, and efficient water transport across the state.
Speaking on the development, the Managing Director of LAGFERRY, Honourable Abdoubaqi Ladi Balogun, described the initiative as “a major milestone in expanding water transport accessibility to the Ikorodu axis and improving interconnectivity with key business districts on the Island.”
He noted that all ferries plying the route are fully equipped with modern safety gear, manned by experienced crew members, and maintained to the highest operational standards. Passengers on board are also covered by comprehensive insurance.
To mark the commencement of operations, LAGFERRY offered free rides to passengers between Monday, November 3rd and Wednesday, November 5th, 2025, giving commuters the opportunity to experience firsthand the comfort and speed of water travel as a viable alternative to road transport.
The ferry departs Ijede for Victoria Island, Falomo, CMS, and Ebute Ero at 7:00 AM daily, while return trips from the Island to Ijede take place between 4:15 PM and 5:30 PM.
Commuters are encouraged to use the Cowry Card for cashless payments once regular operations resume.
