This is a monumental vision for Lagos State and it offers more reasons for more people to move to the Lekki axis: “Lagos State Government has secured approval from the federal government for the construction of the Lekki International Airport in the Lekki-Epe axis of the state.” As that happens, Lagos will have a big unbundling as the richest 1% can now live in their worlds with no reason to come to the Mainland to experience the pains and struggles of the 99%.
Expect property prices to skyrocket in the Lekki axis and you can extrapolate a massive descent in the Ikeja area. Those hotels around Ajao Estate will understand that a new age has started.
Congratulations Lagos State. I challenge Akwa Ibom to build a deep seaport, matching this playbook from Lagos State in the seaport space. Akwa Ibom does not need to do it alone, it can partner with Cross River and Abia states to fund and share benefits of this project.
