From Roads to Rivers: Lagos’ €410m Plan to Cut Traffic with Waterways

If you live in Lagos, you know the daily traffic grind all too well. Now, a new European-backed €410 million initiative under the Omi Eko Project could change how people move across the city. The plan will include modern ferry terminals, sleek water buses, dredged channels, and seamless connections between Lekki, Ikorodu, Lagos Island, Victoria Island, and Badagry. This could mean shorter commutes and less time stuck on clogged roads. I’m also watching the impact on waterfront property values. Areas once overlooked may boom once reliable water transport starts. We break down the routes, funding and what Lagos residents and investors stand to gain. Do you think water transport can truly ease Lagos traffic, or will most people still stick to the roads?
