Nigeria is building one of the world’s biggest and ambitious city projects. Called Eko Atlantic city, it will come up on a sprawling land (5,000,000 square metres) reclaimed from the Atlantic Ocean.

The massive engineering project is designed to restore land engulfed by the sea and transform it into an amazing ocean-front city.
