Determined to enhance safe navigation on the nation’s inland waters, the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) has assigned a new police commander to be in charge of the Lagos waterway.
Sarat Lara Braimah, Lagos area manager of NIWA, officially received Waziri Abbas, a Superintendent of police and also decorated seven NIWA police officers promoted to the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police.
She enjoined them to work harder to secure the waterways and provide the necessary enabling environment that will put the minds of passengers of NIWA at rest.
