The Lagos State Governor Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode , yesterday, expressed confidence that the ongoing Eko Atlantic City, EAC, Project, will become noticeable in the next one and half years. The project is a multi-billion dollar project located on over 10 million square metres of land with projected residents of over 150,000 and another 250,000 who will work and commute within the city on a daily basis. The governor who made the remarks, during an extensive tour of the project, accompanied by members of the State Executive Council, added that the initiative would not only boost the economy of the state, but also increase its Internally Generated Revenue (IGR). In his words, Ambode said, “I just want to encourage other investors and other people who had taken one step or the other in respect of the Eko Atlantic City that the time is now because in another one and half years, this place will be something else.” Meanwhile out of the over 10 million square meters of the project, about six million square meters have been reclaimed, while there are 15 bridges and two tunnels designed for the project.
