The Lagos State Government has defended the ongoing reclamation project at the Makoko Waterfront around the Ebute Meta/Lagos Island interchange, saying the development was duly approved by both the Federal Government and the Lagos State Government.
The clarification was made by the Commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure Development, Dayo Alebiosu, in a statement issued by the ministry on Wednesday.
Speaking during Morning Brief, a Channels Television programme monitored in Lagos, Alebiosu said the reclamation project is being executed by FBT Coral, a developer that complied with all statutory requirements before work commenced.
According to him, the company obtained approvals from the Federal Government and secured all necessary permits from the Lagos State Government before beginning the reclamation exercise.
