He is in charge of building an 8km sea wall and dredging the Atlantic ocean, creating a new foundation for a business waterfront. The audacious plans may seem the stuff of fantasy, but a lot is staked on the success of the new development, to be finished in 2019. "The evolution of Eko Atlantic will change the face of Lagos, and open a new gateway to your success in Africa", booms an advertisement. As forecasters anticipate the expansion with glee, the nearby fishing community of Makoko remains beset by Third World problems. The town's Chief Francis begs for aid. "The government should reconsider us as human beings and help us for improvements of this community", he says.

If the government doesnt clean up the garbage by building garbage treatment plants the city will continue to look like a shit hole even with skyscrapers on it....what Nigerians have not learnt for the past 40 years is how to clean up and modernize their cities. They introduce new things and mingle them with the dirty old things. They dont get rid of the dirty things they just leave the dirty things there and then very son the dirty things accumulate more than the new things and then they go all the way back to square 1.

Although this is a good project, there are still several problems that Nigeria still needs to overcome. There are still insurgencies happening in the Niger Delta as well as in the North East by Boko Haram. Also they still need to provide better infrastructure for other cities like Kano or Calabar rather than just focusing solely on Lagos.
