The NEMA team paid the courtesy visit as a gesture of goodwill. During the meeting, the two parties talked about ways to enhance the cooperation and collaboration between LASWA and NEMA.

Among the topics discussed was the possibility of inviting LASWA to participate in a stakeholders’ conference, which aims to bring together representatives from all 36 states of the country.

The purpose of the conference is to learn from LASWA’s successful management of inland waterways transportation in Lagos, with a focus on safety and incident prevention.

Recall that LASWA have an existing collaboration with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), and other federal government agencies on multi-sectoral partnerships.
