“You know that one third of Lagos is surrounded by water, so we need to be able to use our waterways not only as a means of transportation but as a strong ecosystem for tourism and today you will be seeing displays of various sizes of water infrastructure and display of boat regattas from the five divisions of Lagos.

“It is going to be a day and afternoon of sheer tourism, fun and understanding the beauty of the waterways of Lagos. Let us relax, sit back and enjoy the Beauty of serenity and tourism potential of the state and the hospitality of Lagos.”

The governor who embarked on a boat sail with some executive council members, urged Lagosians to take advantage of the opportunity to unwind and enjoy the ambience of Lagos on the waterways.

Earlier, the commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs Toke Benson-Awoyinka, said that the Lagos Boat Regatta 2024 aimed to immerse participants in the rich culture of the state’s waterway.

Benson-Awoyinka said the event serves as a driver of economic growth to boost tourism and create opportunities for local businesses and further cements Lagos’ reputation as a premier global destination.

She said the event highlighted the vibrant community heritage and sustainability practices through an engaging and multi-sensory experience, weaving together parades, dance performances and innovative space layouts with captivating images.
