Coastal Development - Dave Umahi - Federal Government - Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway - Landmark Beach - Property Rights

Landmark Beach in Lagos faces demolition for the coastal road project, stirring mixed reactions and compensation disputes. Read on for the full scoop!

Landmark Beach, a popular spot on Victoria Island in Lagos, faced demolition on Monday to make way for the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway. The Minister of Works, Umahi, stated that the beach owner had unlawfully sublet the area. Despite the unfortunate events, there are plans for a compensation scheme for affected parties.

The Landmark Group CEO, Paul Onwuanibe, faced backlash as Umahi refuted any claims for compensation for the demolished structures. The demolition triggered a wave of responses from Nigerians, showcasing varied opinions on the development project. As tensions rose, the Federal Government initiated compensation payments to affected tenants within the Landmark premises.

In a surprising turn of events, the Landmark Beach demolition saga reveals the complexities of land ownership and development in Lagos. The clash of interests between business owners and government projects raises questions about property rights and fair compensation practices. As the coastal road construction progresses, the aftermath of the Landmark Beach demolition continues to spark debates and reflections on urban development in Nigeria.

The demolition highlights the challenges faced by businesses and communities during infrastructure development projects. It also underscores the importance of transparency and communication in resolving conflicts between private enterprises and public initiatives.
