waterways no longer safe for business,Ondo fishermen cry to govt

Fishermen in Ondo state have solicited for the support of the state government in areas of safety and infrastructural development in the coastal communities, saying the waterways are no longer safer for businesses, while users of the waterways are now at high risk.

The fishermen under the auspices of Fishermen association of Nigeria, lamented the losses they are incurring as a result of the incessant boat mishap on the waterways caused by seaweed or hyacinth.

The National Chairman of the fishermen, Orioye Gbayisemore, said the development has affected their businesses and source livelihood without any compensation from the state government.
