The Lagos State Government has firmly declared its determination to halt an ongoing land reclamation project on the Kuramo Beach axis along the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway corridor.
​The project, which is currently being executed by agents of the Federal Government, has sparked immediate intervention from state authorities citing regulatory and environmental concerns.
Lagos State officials maintain that all physical planning and urban development activities within the state boundaries must comply with local regulations, regardless of federal involvement.
Concerns have been raised regarding the potential ecological disruptions to the Kuramo Beach coastline, a vulnerable area prone to ocean surges.
The move underscores a burgeoning friction between state urban planning laws and federal infrastructure execution along the strategic coastal highway.
​State authorities have indicated that enforcement teams will be deployed to ensure compliance and halt further activities on the site until formal reviews are concluded.
