The Lagos State Government has issued a notice of demolition of $200 Landmark Beach Resort, saying the property obstructs the planned route of a 700-kilometer coastal road intended to connect the state with Calabar.
Coconut Resort Beach located on the coastal town of Badagry, Lagos State. The beautiful beach, as its name implies, is surrounded by coconut trees. It is about twenty miles towards Nigeria’s border with Benin Republic. With the kind of the tropical sun that could be enjoyed within the environment, Coconut Beach is an ideal destination for holidaymakers.
Onwuanibe explained he purchased the land in 2007, well before the coastal highway plans were formulated, and was left with mixed feelings after the demolition notice arrived, also prompting him to claim compensation. Onwuanibe said that both international and domestic investors in the Landmark Group are considering withdrawing their investments if the beach resort, which features a mini golf course, beach soccer field, volleyball, and basketball court, is demolished.Tottenham, Nottingham clash to carry on despite fatal stabbing ahead of match
