INLAND WATERWAYS OF DEATH: WHO IS TO BLAME?
The matter is grim! Every patriot is deeply worried. Whether in Lagos, Yauri, Sokoto, Shiroro, Kebbi or the Niger Delta waters, the increasing loss of lives on the nation’s inland waterways is frightening and can no longer be tolerated. Who actually stands to blame? Who is contributing what to perpetrate what ought to be an exception rather than the rule? Is the carnage persisting because waterway users stubbornly neglect safety measures the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) has been championing for years? What is the level of government empowerment to NIWA to address this matter? Is government allocation sufficient to frontally address such a gargantuan problem? IZUCHUKWU OZOEMENA examines the issue following fresh appeals by the inland waterways regulator recently for all hands to be on deck to check what is becoming a national embarrassment.
August 12 – 14, 2014, the National Inand Waterways Auhority (NIWA) hosted her first-ever International Conference and Exhibition (ICE) in Lagos. Tagged NIWA ICE, it was part of continuing efforts to draw global attention to Nigeria’s huge waterway potentials and efforts the agency was making to harness them not only for the benefit of inland waterway users in-country but stakeholders from contiguous nations and even beyond.
From all indications, the theme of the conference, “Modernizing Inland Waterways Infrastructure and Vessels for Safe and Sustainable Inland Waterways Transportation”remains as relevant and apt, eight years after. This is because it falls in line with the imperatives of the moment and present concerns about increasing safety lapses on the waterways and loss of lives being experienced.
The NIWA ICE focused on safety while vigorously projecting the agency’s strategies to compel boat operators and passengers alike to give topmost priority to safe sail on the inland waterways.
FROM THE BEGINNING
Among other responsibilities, the NIWA Act CAP N47, 2004 of January 1, 1996 which established the agency, vested in it the task to “provide regulations for inland waterway navigation.” Unambiguously spelt out in this task is safety on the inland waterways. To what extent has the agency gone to satisfy public expectations in this regard? What role is stakeholders’ attitude of non-compliance to safety rules playing in making it impossible for NIWA to make substantial strides in ensuring safety on the inland waterways? Does NIWA really stand to blame for continuing loss of lives on the waterways when boat passengers, boat drivers and others blatantly flout safety regulations while plying the inland waters?
The present leadership of NIWA under Dr George Moghalu has been facing scathing criticism for what appears an inability to tame the scourge of numerous boat mishaps. This is despite all efforts by the agency to enforce extant safety regulatory measures. However, some stakeholders say that considering the very wide area whose inland waterways it is overseeing, the agency deserves to be adequately empowered to tackle all tasks including incidences of disobedience to safety rules and regulations. For now, the agency lacks what it takes to adequately prevent or preempt some of these deadly occurrences. It can only react to some of them depending on her capability level which reflects the level of empowerment at her disposal.
Shortly after appointment as NIWA Managing Director, Dr George Moghalu undertook a familiarization tour to coastal states and communities to re-assure all and sundry that contrary to negative notions about travelling by water, it remains the fastest, safest and economically-rewarding means of transportation.
At an enlarged media interaction in Lagos early August, Moghalu was at his best when he made efforts to assure stakeholders that much as it may be humanly impossible to achieve absolute perfection, the agency remains committed to ensure an enduring, secure and safer inland waterways. On recurring boat accidents, he commended the media for reporting this at least to increase awareness on the possibility so that operators can caution themselves on the need to comply to safety regulations at all times. However, he blamed a section of the media for not verifying facts before publishing news on the frequency and casualties. He condemned some boat operators and passengers who treat safety matters with levity.
CHALLENGES
Without doubt, the greatest challenge NIWA is yet to overcome is deviant acts that result to avoidable marine accidents. Majority of accidents occur at night. The agency has to devise a far-reaching monitoring and enforcement strategy, night or day, to remain ahead of boat operators who ply the waterways at unholy hours. Strict enforcement of safety precautions, though already in place, is yet to meet expected standards. This is the reason boat accidents still persist even to a frightening proportion being experienced presently.
Jide Okunola, an Apapa-based freight forwarder stated this recently. Okunola who resides in Igbede riverine area of Ojo, told Falcon Watch that most boat drivers who operate along the Badagry-Ojo-Liverpool-Apapa corridor always have a field day because Police patrols take place during the day only. Therefore, he suggested that NIWA must redesign her strategy by engaging local ‘agboros’ and those he described as ‘repented hoodlums’ because “it takes a thief to catch a thief”. According to him, they are already familiar with the terrain and can be very useful in monitoring who is doing what on the waterways especially at night.
These people can be offered incentives to volunteer information because they are on ground more than the Police. Night journeys are common. Nobody checks what happens along the waterways at night”, Okunola regreted. He said that along the stretch, intensive fishing happens in the night; movement of smugglers also take place at night and nobody is available to question those involved. People involved in this act care less about light, wrecks and other obstructions that can cause mishap. Of course, they understand the local geography and can avoid obstacles even in the dark.”
He advised NIWA to realize the need to obtain valid information about what goes on along this stretch through devising a subtle means to identify and befriend some of these night operators so as to have access to needed intelligence on unauthorized night voyages. If this strategy works out on this corridor, he explained, it can be replicated in other areas.
Okunola regretted that all talks about life jackets means nothing to the locals. “In fact, as they rush out to fish at night or scoop sand during the day, life jackets do not matter. For smugglers, the motive is to make it quick. Nothing else is relevant.”
Falcon Watch recalls that at an enlarged stakeholders’ meeting in 2020, Dr Moghalu stated that his cardinal objective was to make water transportation a transport mode of choice. He reiterated this in Lagos recently. “We have tried to provide the needed environment for operators, including training programmes, to expose them to operational standards. Yet, some have chosen the path of desperation and dangerous behavior leading to loss of lives and property.”
MENACE OF WATER HYACINTH
The menace which water hyacinth, the stubborn weed constitutes on the waterways is enormous. This directly impedes navigation for all kinds of vessels. In areas where she has supervisory statutory responsibility, NIWA clears this stubborn weed, Moghalu says.
Following the seasonal embarrassment this weed causes to navigation, NIWA and Lagos State Waterways Authority, LASWA, in 2017, concluded plans to promptly clear it at all times.
At a 2017 joint stakeholders’ meeting with members of the Association of Tourists, Boats and Water Transportation of Nigeria (ATBOWATON) in Lagos, then NIWA Lagos Area Manager, Engr Muazu Sambo admitted that water hyacinth was a critical problem hindering the Agency’s operations. Muazu Sambo who is the current Transportation Minister disclosed that NIWA had acquired equipments to clear it on a permanent basis. “We have acquired equipments to clear water hyacinth; we will deploy them for the purpose,” Sambo said.
INTERVIEW WITH DR GEORGE MOGHALU (in-box)
Q: Frequent boat accidents have become NIWA’s greatest challenge. Does it mean your safety arrangements are not working?
A: We’re doing all what we are expected to do to manage the waterways. But it is sad enough that you find that either by acts of commission or omission, people do not do what they are expected to do. For example, we have placed protocols that vessels don’t move in the night; they don’t move in the early hours of the day. From statistics and reports we receive on accidents that happen, 90% of such accidents happen in the night or early in the morning. What that goes to show is that these vessels don’t have navigational aids. Therefore, they should not move in the night or when it is dark. But people still move in the night. They will avoid the right jetties. At times, they don’t even move from jetties at all; they don’t move at river banks. They move from their vessels, get into the water and expose people to danger. You can’t just leave any of our jetties on your own without being tracked. These jetties are monitored and there are rules that must be obeyed. You cant just get onboard any of our jetties without being fully kitted among which is wearing the right life jacket. Most people don’t even know that these jackets expire. You can’t have an expired life jacket from any of our jetties. You can’t ply from any of our jetties when you are not properly kitted. But to avoid all these, they take people and put them on vessels and expose them to unnecessary and avoidable danger when they are not properly kitted.
Q: People say this is happening because NIWA has not been stringent in punishing offenders by catching and prosecuting them…….
We’re getting them….. We arrested people and tried them. Some people have been convicted. We are still doing that. Even we impound substandard vessels that shouldn’t be on the waterways. We get such vessels; some are destroyed. We keep doing that because every lfe is important to us. We don’t want the waste to continue.
Q: NIWA’s ex-top Manager, Engr Muazu Sambo, is now the Transportation Minister. Do you expect an improved treatment of NIWA matters especially strict enforcement of safety regulations which he championed in the past?
We are always serious and concerned about enforcement of safety standards. We are doing verything to push and actualize them. But don’t forget that much as he was our former staff, he is now the Federal Minister of Transportation and other paratatals are under him. It is not only NIWA that he is overseeing.
Q: The Onitsha River Port was recently concessioned. What is the position of this very large parcel of land and vegetation in the channel directly overlooking the port?
It’s an island; it’s not a bush. We have one or two Chinesecompanies discussing with us on the possibility of developing it.
Q: Still on safety and standards and the need to curb recurring boat mishaps. Any plans on waterway transport codes and standards?
We are putting up transport codes and standards; setting up a task force. Any defaulter we catch we hand over to the Police to prosecute. We are not leaving anything to chance because this is embarrassing. Every life is important to us. The rules area made to be obeyed.
Q: What is the place of technology in all these?
Like you heard me say, boat registration is now done online. We are trying to use technology as much as we can. The next stage is to station cameras to be able to monitor activities on our waterways. So, technology has a key role in all we do.
Q: You brought out some patrol vehicles as well as instituting a task force. What are you doin g to ensure that rules are not only adhered to but operators are abreast of the law?
We are engaging operators. We have created fora where we meet and discuss. A lot of sensitization is going on across the country. Like you said, we bought and distributed patrol vessels .We are empowering and giving all the support to our Police department. We are also setting up task forces that are working across the country to effect protocol when it has to do with boat management.
Q: It appears managing the long stretch of inland waterways across Nigeria is a daunting task for NIWA. Do you support views that it is time the agency is unbundled into three or four zones for easy surveillance and monitoring?
Why unbundle it? We already have too many agencies. We have departments in NIWA that are living up to their responsibilities and expectations in this regard. So, I don’t see why NIWA should be unbundled. I don’t think it is necessary.

NSW: Stakeholders Fear Success With Weak Commitment by Drivers and Lack of Reforms by Government.
By Izuchukwu Ozoemena
As lack of a strong political will, inter-agency coordination and full digital preparedness stare the National Single Window (NSW) in the face, implementing the ambitious trade reform policy is bound to fail as is the case with similar programmes hurriedly put in place with inadequate preparations .
Stakeholders at a one-day seminar organized in Lagos by Media Anti-Corruption Initiatives (MACI) and Hynek Media, expressed deep concerns in this regard, thus, supporting the avalanche of opposition to what many industry players say is a good policy that ought to have been properly planned before unveiling last month.
The absence of Mr Tola Fakolade, the NSW Director and his team, attendees regretted, robbed the key NSW driver opportunity to participate in robust discussions on this trade regime, apparently lending credence to fears of failure already hanging in the air. While the Nigeria Customs Service, freight forwarders, maritime journalists, Truck Transit Park officials, and other industry players attended to discuss the theme “National Single Window: Strategies to Avert Failure,” the NSW key driver, Mr Fakolade, was visibly absent. Not even a team member was available to stand in for him!
However, participants acknowledged the transformative potentials of the NSW. In his goodwill message, Otumba Frank Ogunojemite, National President, APFFLON, represented by Alhaji Akeem Ayobiojo, Tincan Port chapter Chairman of the group, said NSW is a future legacy for Nigeria. His concern, however, is “how do we guarantee the success going by how businesses run in Nigeria, with vices and efforts to sabotage good and laudable programmes of government?
Speaking for other freight forwarders and customs agents, Ayobiojo quickly recalled current difficulties in uploading NAFDAC, SONCAP certificates and other documents to the NSW portal. There are delays, demurrages and other challenges, he said, acknowledging these as an index of ill-preparation and wobbling attempts to introduce a new system. He deeply regretted the absence of the NSW team at the event to throw more light and make clarifications on the waivers promised, among others.
Officers of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) made an impressive attendance at the event. Speaking on behalf of the National Public Relations Officer, Superintendent of Customs J.D. Tomo, Public Relations Officer, Lagos Area Industrial Command, said the NSW is at the elementary stage of implementation. Certain modalities in this regard, she explained, are still being worked out. All agencies are to be on one page to facilitate trade, reduce time wastage while carrying everybody along. NSW, she assured, is neither depriving the Customs of her traditional role in trade facilitation nor duplicating the B’Odogwu customs regime. Rather, NCS embraces NSW to make her job easier.
The Registrar, Council for the Regulation of Freight Forwarding in Nigeria (CRFFN) represented by Okechukwu Nwankwo, Head of Lagos Area office said the NSW is a new system Nigerians should give time to play out and mature. Much as the CRFFN is fully integrated on the NSW, as professionals, freight forwarders, he advised, must have professional licences before integrating into the NSW.
In its intervention, the TTP team led by Joseph Alo expressed concerns that whenever technology is introduced to improve existing systems, beneficiaries from the old order must designed methods to torpedo it to their selfish advantage. He said there have been constant engagement and interactions on ways to overcome initial glitches. “We’re looking at doing things differently to improve the system in the port industry,” he explained.
Delivering the lead paper on “National Single Window: Strategies to Avert Failure”, Dr Segun Musa, Managing Director/CEO, Global Transport Policy Ltd, said that an effective Single Window system must incorporate fast-track arbitration and appeal processes. Citing the International Chamber of Commerce, he noted that clear dispute resolution mechanisms can reduce trade disruptions by up to 40 per cent.
On enforcement, Musa referenced OECD studies indicating that effective compliance measures—supported by real-time risk engines, audits, and penalties for false declarations—can raise compliance levels by as much as 50 per cent.
Speaking through Mr. Mark Oluchi, Dr harped on the need for data-driven insights. He explained that data generated from shipments, tariffs, and processing timelines can help detect revenue leakages, guide infrastructure investments, and identify suspicious cargo patterns linked to smuggling.
He stressed the need for a true “one-stop shop” model where all trade documents are submitted once through a unified platform, eliminating duplication and delays, while also calling for strong private sector collaboration to ensure efficiency.
“Launching Nigeria’s National Single Window is not merely a technical upgrade; it is a strategic overhaul of our trade ecosystem. If we get these fundamentals right, the rewards will be transformative—more jobs, increased investment, and greater economic prosperity. The time to act is now.”
All in all, the attendees insisted on efficiency because an efficient system stands to reduce trade transaction costs by up to 25 per cent, increase government revenue by 20 per cent, boost exports by 15 per cent, and attract about 10 per cent more foreign direct investment (FDI).
They expressed strong fears, however, that Nigeria’s history of failed reforms often caused by weak coordination, institutional rivalry, and poor infrastructure stand to undermine the success of the NSW if adequate safeguards are not put on ground. Nigeria must learn from failed efforts.

Dantsoho, NPA MD, Attributes Maritime Sector Transformation to Reforms and Minister’s Leadership Style.
By Izuchukwu Ozoemena
Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Dr. Abubakar Dantsoho, has fingered Federal Government’s reforms and the leadership style of the Marine and Blue Economy Minister, Adegboyega as reasons for the huge transformation going on in the maritime industry.
This is even as investors are being assured of Nigeria’s capacity to dominate Africa’s blue economy with ongoing federal government reforms and increased private sector participation which are critical drivers of transformation in the maritime sector.
Dantsoho gave the assurance while speaking at the Blue Economy Investment Summit in Abuja, where he stressed that Nigeria’s port system would play a pivotal role in unlocking strategic investments and accelerating economic growth.
He noted that the country must urgently refocus its economic priorities towards fully harnessing its vast marine resources in line with global sustainability goals.
“The time has come for a paradigm shift in the structure of Nigeria’s economy towards the full utilisation of our marine resources. Our port system, if properly harnessed, can serve as a major driver of economic growth,” Dantsoho said.
The NPA boss explained that Nigeria’s strategic location, large population and economic strength position it to become a maritime hub for West Africa, comparable to global leaders such as Singapore and Morocco.
“By virtue of our strategic location, market size and economic strength, Nigeria is well-positioned to function as the maritime hub for West Africa,” he added.
Despite these advantages, Dantsoho expressed concern that Nigeria currently handles only about 25 per cent of cargo traffic in the region, even though it accounts for over 60 per cent of West Africa’s GDP.
“It is worrisome that Nigeria, despite controlling over 60 per cent of West Africa’s GDP, handles only about 25 per cent of the region’s cargo traffic. This clearly shows that we have not fully optimised our potential,” he said.
He, however, assured investors that the tide is turning, as the federal government, through the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, is implementing far-reaching reforms to reposition the sector.
According to him, key initiatives include port modernisation, deployment of a Trade Single Window, implementation of a Port Community System, development of deep seaports and full digitalisation of port operations.
“We are implementing key strategic initiatives such as port modernisation, trade single window, port community system, deep seaport development and full digitalisation to reposition our ports for global competitiveness,” he stated.
Dantsoho emphasised that private sector funding remains central to achieving these goals, noting that the NPA is actively encouraging project financing to bridge infrastructure gaps and improve efficiency.
“We are open to private sector participation through project financing. This approach is already improving efficiency and providing access to funding for critical infrastructure,” he said.
He added that the reforms are designed to enhance port efficiency, improve connectivity, reduce freight costs and boost non-oil exports, ultimately driving revenue growth.
“The ultimate goal is to improve liner connectivity, attract bigger vessels, reduce freight costs, and expand our export base, which will significantly boost revenue generation,” he noted.
Dantsoho stressed that competitiveness in the global maritime industry requires efficient operations, competitive pricing and strong hinterland connectivity, adding that Nigerian ports must remain adaptive to evolving global shipping trends.
“With sustained commitment to these initiatives, Nigeria’s port system will enter a new phase and emerge as a leading maritime logistics hub in Africa,” he assured.
Also speaking, the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola, said Nigeria’s natural endowments, including its 823-kilometre coastline and extensive inland waterways, place it in a strong position to lead the sector.
“With over 823 kilometres of coastline, extensive inland waterways and a prime location along the Gulf of Guinea, Nigeria is uniquely positioned to harness the immense potential of the marine and blue economy,” Oyetola said.
He added that reforms by the federal government have improved coordination, strengthened maritime security and boosted investor confidence, noting that the sector accounts for over 90 per cent of Nigeria’s international trade by volume.

Arising from weeks of intensive planning and stakeholder engagements, the Maritime Reporters’ Association of Nigeria (MARAN) hereby confirms readiness and an overwhelming industry stakeholders support for its planned special reception to honour her past presidents.
The reception is a landmark event aimed at celebrating leadership, service and the enduring contributions of media professionals to Nigeria’s maritime industry.
The event which promises to be a gathering of industry heavyweights, ministry officials, policymakers, regulators, terminal operators, shipping companies, freight forwarders and other critical stakeholders, is designed not only to honour past leaders of MARAN but to restate the role of maritime journalism in shaping policy, promoting accountability, and driving sectoral growth.
Speaking on the event, MARAN Caretaker Committee Chairman, Tunde Ayodele noted that the reception serves as a platform to reflect on the legacies of past presidents whose leadership helped position the association as a respected voice in the maritime space.
He added that the event will also provide an opportunity to strengthen collaboration between the media and industry operators at a time when the sector is undergoing significant reforms and modernization.
As stated by Funsho Olojo, Chairman, Reception Planning Committee, notable dignitaries from government institutions, including the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, as well as heads of key maritime agencies, have indicated strong interest in attending the event.
Several corporate organizations and industry groups have also signified their willingness to support the initiative, underscoring its importance to the wider maritime community.
Mr Olojo, while giving an overview of the event, declared that it would serve as a veritable platform to celebrate excellence, hard work and quality leadership offered by past MARAN leaders.
”MARAN, as the projenitor of beat associations in the maritime industry, has produced finest individuals who have had the privilege of leading this great association.
”They have sacrificed their time, energy and intellect to make MARAN the greatest beat association in the maritime industry.
” More encouraging is the fact that all of these past leaders are currently doing well in their different endeavors.
” Some are excelling as Ministers of God in His vineyard, some are holding their own in the legal profession, some have become media moguls and employers of labour while some are practicing their crafts as political appointees.
” It is at this reception that MARAN hopes to unveil their excellence and celebrate their rising profiles”, Olojo declared.
The reception, which will be held on April 24, 2026 at Rockview Hotel, Apapa, Lagos, is expected to feature award presentations, goodwill messages, and networking sessions that will foster deeper engagement among stakeholders while celebrating excellence in maritime journalism.
As the momentum continues to build, the association therefore calls on industry stakeholders, corporate organizations, and well-meaning individuals to be part of this historic event through sponsorships, partnerships, and active participation.
MARAN is the foremost maritime journalists beat association, and a professional body that is committed to promoting ethical journalism, capacity building, and informed reporting within Nigeria’s maritime and blue economy sector.
