Building The Great Wall Of Lagos

This episode of Earthfile focuses on the environmental consequences of the construction and land reclamation of the planned financial hub, Eko Atlantic City in the Atlantic coast of Lagos state. The coastal city which will be resident for over 100,000 to date has 3million cubic meters of the land that has been sand filled in the reclamation with about 35,ooo tonnes of rock delivered to the site. The state government has built what is called 'The Great Wall of Lagos'; the sea defence system to prevent rising ocean surge on the proposed Atlantic city.
