Landmark Africa, a major investor in Lagos real estate, is urging authorities to create a conducive environment for property developers and secure investments along the Atlantic Ocean beach corridor in Victoria Island, Lagos.
The company emphasizes the need to protect the area from social miscreants and ensure that dredging for the Eko Atlantic project does not harm the environment and real estate developments.
Having invested over N3.5 billion, Landmark Africa employs a triple defense approach, including stone embankment, sheet-piling of the boundary wall, and the construction of an anchor wall. The measures aim to minimize the impact of large tidal waves caused by ongoing land reclamation work in the area.
CEO of Landmark Africa, Paul Onwuanibe, expresses concerns about challenges facing investors and social miscreants in the area. Despite holding meetings with various ministries, agencies, and departments to address these issues, no significant solutions have been achieved.
