Shoreline Wall to Protect Eko Atlantic City and Victoria Island from Ocean Surge
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi
Ambode on Sunday embarked on an extensive tour of the Eko Atlantic City
(EAC) Project, expressing confidence that the initiative will not only
boost the economy of the State, but also increase its Internally
Generated Revenue (IGR).
Governor Ambode, who was accompanied on the tour by members of the State
Executive Council, pledged the total commitment of his administration
towards the success of the project, saying that it would go a long way
to facilitate the quest to grow potentials of the State economy.
The Eko Atlantic City Project is a
multi-billion dollar project sitting on over 10million square metres and
is expected to accommodate over 150,000 people who would reside there
and another 250,000 who would work and commute within the city on a
daily basis.
While commending the promoters of the EAC
Project for their confidence in committing huge resources to the
Nigerian economy, Governor Ambode said their investment was a positive
sign that Nigeria remains the investment hub in Africa.
The Governor said: “Notwithstanding the
economic recession that has befallen the country right now, we have come
to also show that outside the recession, there is a whole lot of
progress going on in the investment climate in Lagos State.
