About
About Capital Oil/FESTAC
Distance and duration come apart completely here. Mile 2/NIWA is 1.2 nautical miles away and takes 20 to 30 minutes; Sagbokoji is 5.5 miles away and takes 15. The short hop is the slow one by a wide margin.
Both run six days a week with departures clustered at 06:00, 06:30, 10:00 and 16:00, and Mile 2 has the denser sheet — six arrivals a week against three on the Sagbokoji leg. The recorded times for the same route vary between 20 and 30 minutes depending on the sailing.
FESTAC Town was built for the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture in 1977 and handed over as housing afterwards, a planned grid of numbered avenues in the Amuwo-Odofin area. The jetty sits on the creek behind it, and the boats work water that threads between Apapa's port infrastructure — which is a fair explanation for why a mile and a bit can take half an hour.
