'Atlantic City affecting Lagos coastline' 2013-08-16 00:07:57  The Federal Government has said there is a need to monitor the Eko Atlantic City project due to the impact it is having on the environment. "The Deputy Director, Erosion and Control, Federal Ministry Environment, Adekunle Oshekoye called for more action towards arresting the impacts of the sea-rise, ocean surge and consequent impacts of the Eko Atlantic City Project," a statement said on Thursday. Environmental Stakeholders also stated at a meeting convened by the National Emergency Management Agency at the 81 Division of the Nigerian Army, that there was a need for the regular environmental impacts assessment despite the position of Lagos State Government that the initial assessment of the project did not indicate any danger to the coastlines. The stakeholders submitted that assessment on Lagos Lagoon, which is known as the most tumultuous and unstable West African coastlines, was necessary because of the daily human activities. The Director of Search and Rescue, NEMA, Air Commodore Charles Otegbade, revealed that the ocean surge had caused physical damages to the premises of the 81 division of the Nigerian Army and other areas in other parts of the country Punch News online |

Is EKo Atlantic city project indeed ambitious or Federal GOvernment just want to play politics with it? |

It's an unnecessary project to be honest. Why claim the sea when there are lots of lands available for use. |

Sterling Towers: Is EKo Atlantic city project indeed ambitious or Federal GOvernment just want to play politics with it? Part of the project is the Great Wall of Lagos which aims at reducing the impact of the ocean surge on the Lagos coastline I wonder why the FG is coming up with this when we shared the EIA with them in the first place? So far, the land reclaimed has provided some barrier and reduced the ubiquitous ocean surges we were all too familiar with God bless the city of Lagos Nothing will stop this project and I repeat nothing 2 Likes

They have explained it over and over again and true Lagosians have witnessed it but some block heads keep coming back to this same point. V.I was about to be washed away before this project was conceived. This project saved V.I and its extension will save the whole coastline. Anyone that's against this Project has no knowledge of what progress is. How daft can some people get?? No wonder Nigeria is backwards. 1 Like |

It means the water (in case of any upsurge) will now have to impact EAC first before "old" Lagos. |

slim fit : "Lots of land"? In Lagos? Where please? |

dplordx:I will take it that you didn't understand my post, i was actually referring to the Federal Ministry Environment who isnt making any sense in its assertion that the EAC is responsible for the recent ocean surge. Btw what is wrong with living in anambra, you should travel more to see what other have before spewing crap. Finally i don't deal in your tribal crap ok 1 Like |

ba7man: They have explained it over and over again and true Lagosians have witnessed it but some block heads keep coming back to this same point. A PROOF THAT THE OCCUPIER OF ASO ROCK IS WHAT THEY CALLED HIM. I WAS AT TARKWA BAY AND TRIED TO SEE THE PROGRESS OF THIS ILLUSTRIOUS PROJECT. MEN, IT IS MEANT TO SAVE OUR COASTLINE. WE MUST NOT POLITIZE EVERYTHING. THOUGH WE KNOW THAT IS WHAT FG UNDER JONA IS KNOWN FOR. BUT, LET US BE SINCERE WHEN IT IS CLEAR ENOUGH. |

Olaolufred: Spot on bro I wonder why some people will just sit hundreds of kilometers away doing nothing and frustrating the efforts of those that do just to drag the performers down to their mediocre level |

How can it be the problem when the whole of VI was about to be washed away. Anybody with a house in lekki should blame himself. That place is the swampiest of swamps . So expect regular visits from the ocean. |

The ministry belong to Federal Government. Will you query federal for what Lagos State ministry of Finance do? No, it is Fashola that will account for that. Simply, this is called responsibility.
