Deputy governor Obafemi Hamzat, speaking while representing the governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, revealed that government is negotiating a partnership with Uber on water transportation.
“On our waterways, we are working on making it work for our residents. These things cost a lot of money. We are talking to Uber to partner with us on water transportation,” Hamzat disclosed.
Hamzat also explained that the government was working with some organisations through a public-private partnership to reduce gridlock in the state through its waterways.
“Already, the State Public Works Corporation has started palliative works across the State, this rehabilitation work would be intensified more when the rain subsides,” Hamzat said.
