Landmark Beach management has responded to the recent developments surrounding plans for demolition. In a statement addressed to beach guests and patrons, the organization acknowledged the unfortunate demolition of Landmark Beach and the potential inconvenience it may have caused to those with remaining funds in their app wallets designated for beach-related activities.
“We understand that some of you may still have funds remaining in your app wallets designated for beach-related activities. The App has been disabled for now to prevent bookings. However, We want to assure you that your satisfaction and convenience remain our top priorities, despite this unforeseen circumstance.” reads the statement.
In light of these events, Landmark Beach management has presented two options for individuals with existing subscriptions or funds in their app wallets. One option involves repurposing the remaining funds for various other offerings within their vibrant ecosystem. This includes attending boulevard events, indulging in a staycation at their hotel, or exploring other exciting amenities.
Alternatively, patrons can opt for a refund of their remaining balance. Landmark Beach management has assured customers that they are more than willing to facilitate this process promptly and efficiently upon providing account details.
The decision to deactivate the app comes as Landmark Africa, the proprietor of Landmark Beach on Victoria Island, reacts to the demolition of segments of its property for the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project. The company lamented the destruction of six years’ worth of investment within a mere six hours.
In a statement shared on X’s platform on Tuesday, the company expressed dissatisfaction with the Federal Government’s decision to demolish its structures while also extending gratitude for the outpouring of public support.
The demolition, which occurred on Monday, affected a section of Landmark Beach on Victoria Island, Lagos, to accommodate the construction of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, deemed Nigeria’s most significant public infrastructure undertaking to date.
Despite widespread apprehension regarding potential job losses and the adverse effects on livelihoods, the demolition proceeded as scheduled.
The construction of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway has sparked intense debates surrounding its cost, feasibility of completion, and the ramifications of property and business demolitions along its Right-of-Way.
Critics, including Peter Obi and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, have raised concerns about the project’s viability and urged the Federal Government to allocate funds towards repairing abandoned projects across the country.
These criticisms underscore the growing skepticism surrounding the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project and its perceived value in relation to other pressing infrastructure needs in Nigeria.
