Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola says no fewer than 1,200 houses would be built in Eko Atlantic City, to reduce the housing deficit in the state.
Governor Fashola, who received a French delegation led by Foreign Trade Minister, Nicole Bricq,  at the Lagos House, Marina, said the reclaiming of the 10, 000, 000 square meters, meant for the Eko Atlantic City from the ocean, is a battle between man and nature.
He added that a new city will emerge from the reclaimed portion of land.
