Quick Glance: Nigeria's Ambitious Coastal Highway Project Sparks Controversy Over Beach Resort Demolition
- Lagos authorities ordered business mogul Paul Onwuanibe to vacate his Landmark Beach resort to make way for a 700-kilometer coastal highway, raising concerns over its impact on tourism and investments.
- The proposed highway aims to connect vital regions of the country and is compared to iconic coastal routes in other countries, but faces criticism from environmentalists for potential ecological damage.
- Calls for thorough environmental assessments and exploring alternative routes with minimal impact have emerged, urging policymakers to consider preserving local businesses like Landmark Beach.
- Onwuanibe stresses the need for in-depth consultations and studies to ensure a mutually beneficial outcome for affected businesses along the coast, emphasizing the importance of turning the coastal highway into an advantage rather than a setback.
