Testimonials

What Our Trainees Say

The training at Metropolitan Waterways was thorough and professional. The hands-on practical sessions on Lagos Lagoon gave me real confidence. I earned my NIWA certification and now operate commercially across the waterways.

Capt. Adeyemi O.

Licensed Boat Skipper

We have used Metropolitan Waterways for offshore personnel transfers and corporate events. Their fleet is well-maintained, the crew is highly professional, and the safety standards are excellent. A trusted partner for our marine logistics.

Mrs. Folake Adegbite

Corporate Client, Energy Sector

The NIWA-approved course was intensive and well-structured. The facilitators, especially Comdr. Edeh, brought decades of maritime experience to every session. I left with practical skills and a recognised certification.

Insp. Chukwuemeka N.

NDLEA Officer, Sponsored Trainee

As a complete beginner, I was nervous about boat handling. The team at Metropolitan Waterways made the learning process clear and safe. Within a week, I was navigating the Lagos Lagoon with confidence. Highly recommended.
