The Lagos State Government, through the Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA), is set to officially launch the Omi Eko Project on Friday, 17th October 2025, at the iconic Five Cowries Terminal, Falomo.
The event marks a pivotal milestone in the state’s unwavering commitment to sustainable development, cutting-edge water transportation, and smart city innovation.
The project, to be unveiled by the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is poised to revolutionize Lagos’s water transportation landscape by integrating innovative technology, strengthening terminal infrastructure, and championing environmental sustainability.
With the deployment of over 78 high-capacity electric ferries, digital ticketing systems, intelligent terminals, and safety innovations, the project will significantly reduce commute times and establish a reliable, modern transportation option for millions of people.
The Five Cowries Terminal, a central hub of intermodal transport in Lagos, will serve as the perfect location for the launch, symbolizing the seamless integration of land and water mobility as outlined in the Lagos Urban Mobility Plan.
