The Lagos State Govt scored another high point when it finally launched the take-off of the Eko Atlantic City project. The proposed city will sit on a 5,000,000metres square of reclaimed land from the atlantic ocean. When completed, it will provide accommodation to 250,000 Lagosians and offices to about 150,000 people.
This is the most ambitious civil engineering project going on not only in Nigeria but the world at large.
We really must commend the Lagos state governor Babatunde Raji fashola for this rare show of excellence and focus in governance.
The occassion which was attended by great businessmen and technocrats was also graced by president Goodluck Jonathan as well as the former US president Bill Clinton.
It is hoped that this will improve the image of Lagos and that of Nigeria and cause inflow of development capital into the country by would be investors thereby raising the standard of living of the ordinary Nigerians. Many of who will be gainfully employed as construction work begins and even thereafter.
Work has already begun in earnest on the first skyscrapper of the project.
Who says Fashola is not working? The vision for Lagos as a megacity has just begun. Eko o ni baje o!
