LASWA to Clear Water Hyacinth on Waterways
The Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA ) has commenced clearing of water hyacinth blocking inland waterways in Lagos.
The water hyacinth could be found in some jetties, terminals and waterways routes.
In a statement, the General Manager, Mr. Oluwadamilola Emmanuel, said some areas have been pegged for the exercise.
Emmanuel also said the exercise has started in three locations in Lagos, including Ikorodu, Badore and Badagry.
He added that the clearing followed the approval received from the state governor, Mr. Babajide Olushola Sanwo-Olu, who believes that this will remove the impediment to smooth navigation on waterways,
The clearing will check any obstruction such as problematic invasive species affecting free flow of traffic on the waterways.
