The Federal Government has proceeded with its plan to demolish some Landmark-owned structures to pave the way for the construction of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal road.
Landmark Africa, owner and operator of the Landmark Beach Resort, has started counting its losses following the demolition exercise embarked upon by the Federal Government for the construction of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway.
On Monday, April 29, 2024, the Minister of Works, David Umahi, supervised the demolition of some structures sitting along the coastline, which the Federal Government claimed Right of Way (ROW), to clear the path for the road project.
Among the structures affected were a part of the Landmark Beach, the cabanas, the football turf, and many others that were pulled down.
The Breeze Beach Club, located at the centre was also pulled down.

Meanwhile, reacting to the development in a social media post, Landmark Africa lamented how an investment that took six years to build has been pulled down in just six hours.
"What a journey! What we built in 6 years was destroyed in 6 hours 💔 💔" the post partly read.
However, the company thanked Nigerians who have shown concern and support throughout the struggle and promised to emerge from the ordeal stronger.
"We are overwhelmed at the show of support we have received from Landmark Citizens and all our partners. Thank you, for standing with us and believing in our mission and cause so far.
This is not the end! 💪🏽," it added.
