News Investigators/ The National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) Niger-Kwara Area Office on Saturday commenced enforcement of life jacket use for passengers boarding boats across its waterways. Akapo Adeboye, Area Manager, flagged off the 2025 sensitisation campaign on safety of lives and property in line with inland waterways regulations at Gabgibo community. Mr Adeboye said the sensitisation aimed to enforce the use of life jackets by boat operators and passengers, adding that NIWA would no longer tolerate non-compliance. “We are shifting from sensitisation to enforcement and we expect all boat operators and passengers to comply,” he said. He recalled that NIWA had been carrying out sensitisation on the importance of wearing life jackets while on boats for the past three years.
