Nice to see some progress on this. Too bad things aren't moving at a Dubai pace. Same with the metro project...

It will likely cost at least six billion US dollars, and probably much more, to build this project. It would've been nice to see the local government would invest that money into the city's infrastructure instead of this insular sanctuary for the ultra rich, but I guess that isn't a problem specific to Lagos.

Eko Atlantic is currently the biggest project in the country, although still a work in progress. According to report, when fully completed will provide a state-of-the-art business district for West Africa.

I'll share an update on the project, including pictures of the city.

http://landscapinghomestead.com I still don't see any updates on this being built in Lagos... I guess it was just wishful thinking
