The installation of this stair lift is a testament to our continuous efforts to create a welcoming environment for all, regardless of physical ability.

We remain committed to making Lagos waterways and our offices more inclusive and accessible to everyone,” he stated.

This latest development is part of LASWA’s broader strategy to upgrade infrastructure across its facilities, ensuring safety, convenience, and improved service delivery for all Lagos residents.

LASWA encourages members of the public to take advantage of the new facility and assures continued efforts toward enhancing accessibility within the Lagos water transport system.

The agency remains committed to building a more inclusive, safe, and efficient transportation network.
