The Lagos Ferry Services (LAGFERRY), in collaboration with Cash Token Africa, has launched ‘Eko Token’ reward system for the benefit of commuters on Lagos waterways, just as it noted cash transactions will also be compensated with benefits for commuting through the waterways across all terminals/jetties.

The Managing Director of LAGFERRY, Abdoulbaq Ladi-Balogun, disclosed this at the launch of the initiative on Thursday, noting that the Eko Token reward system was introduced to give an added advantage to users of waterways, where passengers can win up to N100 million.

Ladi-Balogun explained that the initiative was designed to encourage Lagosians to use the waterways saying, “Since 2019, there has been a steady transformation of the waterways sector and a commitment of the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to the development of the waterways through strategic investment for crucial growth and acceptability among Lagosians”.

He gave an assurance of the continued safety and comfort of commuters on LAGFERRY boats, pointing out that clients now have the chance of winning prizes in “cash and kind” while increasing their mileage count.

According to her, the initiative was conceived to better the lives of Lagosians, adding that every resident has an opportunity to win a prize for every purchase with instant rewards.
