Eko Atlantic Nigeria Website Launched

Rise of a New Lagos City

LAGOS, Nigeria, June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The official website of Eko Atlantic, a
brand new city that will be built on land that is being reclaimed from the
Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Victoria Island in Lagos, has been launched on
the internet as part of an evolving strategy of marketing and communications
to promote the large-scale development project.

Eko Atlantic covers an area of more than 9 square kilometres of sea that is
being turned into valuable land for sale. Strips of sand have already emerged
along parts of Bar Beach, rolling back decades of severe coastal erosion that
once threatened Victoria Island itself.

"This is a thoroughly properly conceived engineering solution to nature's
challenge," says Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, who praises the
project in a video clip on the new website.

Lagos is the biggest and fastest growing city in West Africa and is projected
to become a city-state of 25 million people by the year 2015. Eko Atlantic
city, says the Governor, is an integral part of that mega city vision. "I was
persuaded not only by its merits but also its benefits."

The vast marine works to reclaim land for Eko Atlantic and the construction of
a new sea wall will take six years to complete. "We have a unique opportunity
here," says David Frame, Managing Director of the development company, South
Energyx. "It will establish a vibrant 21st century city here in the heart of
Africa. We believe it will assist in establishing Lagos as the financial
capital of Africa."

A new Eko Atlantic branding logo, depicting a modern skyline along a coastal
sweep, will be revealed for the first time on the newly launched interactive
website.

The developers will further raise Eko Atlantic's profile and will broadcast
its logo on television screens watched by millions of soccer fans during the
Nigeria v France friendly soccer match on Tuesday, June 2.

Eko Atlantic is a match sponsor for the Super Eagles game and its logo and
website address will feature on prominent, pitch-side advertising panels in
the French stadium throughout the game.
