It is a low-down dirty shame.

BlueRayDick:


Yeah. But if I was in this Landmark owner's shoes I will first try and dialogue with the government to see if there's a way they can reroute the whole thing in order not to affect my investment that is providing jobs for fellow citizens.

If I get a negative response , then I will file for compensation ASAP and get an injunction restraining government from carrying out demolition immediately . If they decide to disobey the court order, no wahala . I will sha pursue my right go compensation to the last kobo.

Once I get the monetary compensation, I will never look back at ever investing in Nigeria ever again. I will face my business interests in other saner environment .

afrodoc2:


I totally agree. He is going about it in the right order. It is sad though that government can just wake up one morning and unalive a man's livelihood just like that.

There should be some limits and caveats to that land use act. If it is for really crucial purposes like environmental preservation etc, then it makes sense, but to be booting people out and making them homeless because of any silly government white elephant project is tyrannical IMO.

I think this may be one of the reasons why land lease is preferred to purchase by businesses. To reduce your exposure

Izzou have u heard latest about the coastal highway ?

So Lagos state has been issuing notice to people with properties along the corridor where the road is to pass and Landmark resorts has been given a quit notice notifying him that the $200m resort will be demolished .

The man has come out to plead with the government to reroute about 1.5km out of the 700km so the property won't be destroyed . He mentioned how he got the land in 2007 long before there was any plan to construct any coastal highway so it's not as if he bought a land knowing fully well the government will demolish it one day.

The business employs 4000 Nigerians directly and 12,000 indirectly . Even if FG gives him compensation for demolishing his property ( which I doubt they will ) ; what happens to those people working for the company that are about to join the ever growing unemployed pool in the country ?

Perhaps Iran should flatten a civilian building killing all members of a family including women and children; then tell the world that one of the occupants was an IDF reservist.

Israel asked for this.

-Lord

larride:


Not the entire property us being demolished. The road only affected about 5meters of his beach front same way it cut through Oniru beach.

izzou:


50m actually.

It didn't affect the building.

Just the properties on the beach

larride:


The project is not even a LASG project, it's a federal govt project, I dont know why Lagos is the one sending them letters of RoW and not the federal ministry of works.

aieromon:


Land belongs to LASG.

larride:


Yes and the project belongs to the FG.

The compensation and all should be done by the FG.

afrodoc2:


If the land belongs to the state government then they have to handle it.

I don’t think FG can chase people away from the land since the land does not belong to the FG in the first place. They have to use the LASG to do their dirty work.

BlueRayDick:


Exactly ! Na state government get all the land for their state except for those already designated as under federal government from inception

Na LASG give the man C of O , so if LASG wants to evict him on behalf of FG , they must pay him compensation and get reimbursement from FG

By land use act ownership of land is vested in the governor.

The highway benefits the states it is passing through

The only way any state governor will not be part of the revocation is oppo politics posturing

lol Iran won't attack israel direct, this is their usual chest beating.

LordAdam16:

You are far more certain than the Israelis taking unprecedented precautions.

Olowunl01:


How does this highway benefit Lagos State? Would investing the funds on high speed rails or heck connecting the whole of Nigeria via decent rail not be a better use of the funds? Or spend the money on the existing federal highways to these areas to make it safer.
