Source: Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) 2010 Water Transportation Seven corridors were indentified for water transportation These are the Badore corridor, the Badore-Admiralty-Osborne-Marina corridor, Ikorodu-Oworonsoki-Marina corridor, Ijegun-Egba corridor, Oke-Afa-Festac-Mile 2-Marina corridor, and Iddo-Ota area-Marina corridor. Of these, the Ikorodu-Marina and the Badore-Admiralty-Osborne-Marina corridors have been opened with daily water transport passenger services across the channels. Old jetties have been rehabilitated and new terminals built to facilitate smooth operations of water vessels. The new jetties include those in Ipakodo, Badore, and Osborne. Provision has been made for terminal buildings with park and ride facilities. There are also provisions for banking, shopping, and dining. The development of water transportation has enhanced the integration of transportation in the city and brought relief to residents of the neighbourhoods of the water transport corridors. The Lagos State Ferry Services has been upgraded to the Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA). The authority is a regulatory agency, charged with the responsibility of ensuring that the safety on water is maintained and best practices are used to achieve sustainable water transportation. It has also opened other avenues of investment and employment opportunities, at the same time relieving the roads of the burden of mobility.
Out of a total estimated water demand of 1,800 million litres per day, only 600 million litres per day or 30 percent of the estimated demand is supplied by public agencies in Lagos state. To improve water supply, the state government has invested a substantial sum on the rehabilitation of waterworks and the privatisation of the Lagos State Water Corporation (LWC). Other methods adopted in its policy for the provision of the potable water system include: Construction/refurbishment of other micro and macro water works. Improvement of power generation to power the various schemes. Provision of efficient bill collection. Repair/rehabilitation of collapsed boreholes. In the first phase of the water project coordinated by the LWC and constructed by Naston Engineering Nigeria Ltd, 15 mini micro waterworks have been constructed with a capacity to produce 30 million gallons per day across various local government areas and local council development areas. The long-term plan of the state government is to resuscitate the Adiyan/Iju waterworks both with a total production capacity of 130 million gallons per day. Power Supply The population in Lagos state consumes between 45 percent and 50 percent of the electricity generated in the country and generates only 20 percent of its electricity supply. Lagos megacity requires 6,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity but only 1,000 MW is being met by the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN). Consequently, power supply has been prioritised among the state government’s economic reforms. The Lagos state governments’ previous attempts at partnering with the federal government on energy supply improvement for Lagos through an international consortium named ENRON Corporation were aborted. In recent years the government has involved some independent power producers (IPPs) to assist in alleviating the power supply problems, most especially in Lagos megacity. Among these are AES Nigeria, a subsidiary of AES USA, responsible for generating 270 MW through the IPP and Akute Power Limited (IPP) responsible for the installation of the 12.15 MW plant supplying electricity to the Adiyan/Iju waterworks. The government has also partnered with El Sewedy Electric of Egypt to build a transformer production factory in Agbara (plates 4.5–4.7).
