Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) has stated that only 250,000 people can live in the state’s new city under construction, Eko Atlantic after its completion.
The governor stated this while speaking at an event in City Hall, Lagos to mark his 1,900 days in office as governor. He was represented by Lagos Attorney-General, Ade Ipaye.
According to him, on completion,
the new city would accomodate 150,000 commuters daily but that it would not
have any form of flooding or any overflowing of water from the atlantic ocean
unlike experienced at the Bar Beach coastline along Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria
Island.
