Commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure Development, Arch Ahmed Kabiru Abdullahi
The Lagos State government has expressed the desire to continue to create more man-made islands at its waterfront across the state, saying the move was to further increase land availability for Housing and Infrastructural Development.
Commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure Development, Arch Ahmed Kabiru Abdullahi, disclosed this on Wednesday at the Year 2020 Ministerial Press Briefing at JJT Park Alausa, Ikeja, to mark the first year of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration.
Abdullahi said work had since commenced on the reclamation of 100 hectares of the land proposed for mixed-use development named “Ostia Islands,” beside Orange Island at Eti-Osa Local Government Area.
According to the commissioner, approval has also been granted for the reclamation of 54.58 hectares at Makoko for redevelopment, while the Majidun-Awori Island project will be embarked upon to bring commercial and residential real estate development to the Ikorodu corridor.
Abdullahi, while stating that the projects would be financed through Public-Private Partnership (PPP), listed other upcoming projects such as King’s City Island, to be constructed on 150 hectares and located 300 metres north of Victoria Garden City; and Olumegbon Royal Land (Palaver Yard Extension) with proposed 6.6 hectares of land.
He also disclosed that the state government had continued to work with its partners at the Orange and Gracefield islands currently undergoing construction during the period under review.
