The Nigerian Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) has said that the need to have accident-free waterways transportation birthed the launching of its Water Ambulance in Lagos.

The Managing Director, NIWA, Senator Olorunbe Mamora made this known to newsmen at the Launc of the water ambulance in Lagos recently

According to the NIWA MD, “The aim of NIWA is to have accident free waterways transportation, hence the need to take adequate measures to manage accidents on our waterways.

“One of the measures is the ambulance being commissioned today. There will be more of these ambulances on our waterways soon. NIWA is putting everything in place to make sure that the safety of water transportation operators and passengers are secured, and this is being achieved by making sure that life jackets are made available always.

Mamora also advocated for an all-inclusive collaboration among stakeholders to ensure effective running of the water ambulance.

“I seek the cooperation of all the critical stakeholders to ensure that the functions of the ambulances are achieved,” Mamora added.
