The Lagos State<\/a> Commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure Development, Ahmed Abdullahi, said on Wednesday the state government would continue to create more man-made islands at its waterfront across the state to further increase land availability for housing and infrastructural development in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said work had commenced on the reclamation of 100 hectares of land proposed for mixed-use development named \u201dOstia Islands\u201d beside Orange Island at Eti-Osa local government area of the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, approval was also granted for the reclamation of 54.58 hectares at Makoko for redevelopment, while the Majidun-Awori Island project would be embarked upon to bring commercial and residential real estate development to the Ikorodu corridor in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commissioner<\/a> said the projects would be financed through a Public-Private Partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
