Data were collected at the terminal using about 590 copies of questionnaire at 98% success rate of using simple random sampling techniques. The hypothesis was formulated and tested using one way analysis of variance. The result showed that there was a significant difference in infrastructural challenges on passengers patronage of inland waterways transportation along the Calabar-Oron corridor, (N = 590, F = 8. 175, p = 0029.). The findings of this study concluded that infrastructural challenges affect patronage through impacting negatively on some key service parameters, especially safety and security, passengers comfort and convenience, which promote patronage. The summary concluded that waterway transportation was found to impact negatively on the traffic. Some of the challenges promoted water phobia.
