Commenting honourable Commissioner for Lagos state waterfront infrastructure development, Prince Adesegun Oniru said the project will be a long term one and what the ministry has done is to protect Victoria Island from the ocean surge and erosion problem permanently. The phase two of course will be financed by a private developer- Chagoury group, one of the west africa leading construction company.He said the sand will be taken back to where it was formerly in the late 50's and early 60's about 5 km back into the ocean,he further said all the scientific calculation has been done, all investigations done and an environmental impact assesment is being carried out now because of the magnitude of the project.
Lagos state is not spending a dime on the project, but the project will be promoted and sponsored by the Chagoury group, which are also involved in infrastructure development, dredging and land reclammation and also owns the Lagos largest hotel (Eko hotel). Currently they are developing two major projects. Banana Island in Ikoyi, a residential complex on reclaim land of approximately 1.8 million square meters and Eko Akete, an infrastructural development of approx. 400 hectares 30 km from V.I.

How can I get more info/maps on this project how far along will the reclamation go. will it get to Goshen Beach estate?
The atlantic project is an ongoing thing and is a mega project that will take years, but getting allocations before the time could be risky due to unstable government policies.
New government may revoke your papers or worst still this could be another bogus project.
Hello,
I am a Nigerian but british trained Architect in the UK. I was wondering if you can direct me to the Architects / Developers involve with this project, as I am considering relocating back to Nigeria to work as an Architect.
