The commissioner, who spoke in Lagos at the first annual stakeholders' forum organised by Lagos State Waterways Authority, LASWA, said the health challenge was as a result of issues associated with traffic congestion, noise pollution and environmental issues.
Mobereola, who was represented by Dr. Olufemi Salam, Director of Transportation, Planning, Policy and Coordination in the Lagos State Ministry of Transportation, said the statistics came about two years ago after a survey carried out by the ministry. He therefore, advocated the need for residents to embrace water transportation.
Meanwhile, Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode on Thursday identified water transportation as a key solution to traffic gridlock in Lagos metropolis, just as he vowed to develop the sector in the overall interest of the state.
