An aerial picture taken on June 11, 2019 shows the Eko Atlantic project in Lagos. - Dozens of homes have been destroyed, families displaced, choice property abandoned and once vibrant local economy desvasted as tidal erosion has swept away over 25 meters of land at the Alpha Beach shoreline, once an attractive affluent strip of the Lagos Coastline, Nigeria's commercial nerve centre. Launched in 2007 by billionaire investors with strong political backing, Eko Atlantic has been billed as a Dubai for Africa, a hyper-luxury enclave of skyscrapers buit on land reclaimed from the ocean that will transform the city.
