Landmark Beach Resort has announced plans to pursue investment opportunities outside of Lagos and even beyond Nigeria’s borders.
Landmark made the announcement in a statement on its official X account on Thursday.
Landmark said it is in advanced discussions with other states and three West African countries regarding developing beachfront tourism in their localities.
The company also announced they are already in talks with potential investors keen on “jointly rebuilding the greatest tourism platform in West Africa.”
This project, according to Landmark, would not only recreate jobs that have now been lost but also increase them.
“We have identified a couple of attractive waterfront sites for purchase and are determined to move on from the pain and devastation to not just survive as a business but thrive,” the statement reads
“We are also pleased to announce that we are having in-depth discussions with three West African countries and 2 states in Nigeria regarding developing beachfront tourism in their localities and we very much look forward to these new and exciting opportunities which could help enhance Nigeria and Africa’s stature in the global tourism industry.”
Landmark’s announcement follows the demolition some properties along the area including its resort by the Federal Government.
The demolition is part of a larger initiative to remove “illegal” structures along the planned route of a 700-kilometer coastal road connecting Lagos with Calabar, according to works minister Dave Umahi.
