The Lagos State Government has said it would continue to create more man-made islands at its waterfront across the state, in order to increase land availability for Housing and Infrastructural Development.
The Commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure Development, Mr. Ahmed Abdullahi, stated this in Lagos on Wednesday at the Year 2020 Ministerial Press Briefing to mark the first year anniversary of Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration.
According to Abdullahi, the government has already commenced reclamation of 100 hectares of land proposed for mixed-use development named “Ostia Islands”, beside Orange Island at Eti-Osa Local Government Area.
