This development comes as Landmark Africa, the proprietor of Landmark Beach on Victoria Island, responds to the demolition of segments of its property for the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project, lamenting the destruction of six years‘ worth of investment within a mere six hours.
In a statement shared on X’s (formerly Twitter) platform on Tuesday, the company expressed its dissatisfaction with the Federal Government’s decision to demolish its structures while also extending gratitude for the outpouring of public support.
The demolition took place on Monday, affecting a section of Landmark Beach on Victoria Island, Lagos, to accommodate the construction of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, deemed Nigeria’s most significant public infrastructure undertaking to date.
Despite widespread apprehension regarding potential job losses and the adverse effects on livelihoods, the demolition proceeded as scheduled.
The construction of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway has sparked intense debates surrounding its cost, feasibility of completion, and the ramifications of property and business demolitions along its Right-of-Way.
Peter Obi, the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, has criticized the project, labelling it as a “white elephant” and urging the Federal Government to allocate the funds towards repairing abandoned projects scattered across the country.
Similarly, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has denounced the project as fraudulent, citing concerns regarding its exorbitant cost and funding model.
These criticisms underscore the growing skepticism surrounding the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project and its perceived value in relation to other pressing infrastructure needs in Nigeria.
