Lekki has turned out to be a high cost neighbourhood. Housing is very expensive, just as it is with food items. Transportation cost is high so are all other aspects of life in that axis.
Lekki has not yet developed fully. Most parts of Lekki deos not have tared roads, clearly marked out drive paths nor are there government hospital, fire service station, post office, pipe-borne water and other public utilities. Despite the absence of these infrastructure, cost of living is on the rise. One begins to wonder what will happen when these facilities are provided and the area becomes dense.
Many Lekki residents provide their own water, generate power, construct roads, engage security operatives etc. With such lack of infrastructure, you can not lay your fingers on any particular reason why cost of living is higher than most other parts of the city.
There are also security concerns. The Lekki high way has turned out to be a slaughter slab for motorist and pedestrians. Lives are lost on daily basis because the road has become highly traffic-density due to the massive movement into the area and the rapid real estate development has largely, contributed to heavy duty construction vehicles using the road. Reckless driving and over-speeding is rampant on the stretch of the road, especially between Ajah and Epe axis. This is so because there traffic officers are less present on this portion of the road.
Rubbery insidences are rampant due to the lack of access roads. Many residents live in areas not well marked out and without named streets and this poor condition allow criminals to operate freely. Even when the police are called in, because of inaccessibility of the communities, the police is unable to come to the rescue of residents.
On the bright side, Lekki is still very much a virgin land. The absense of government presence and businesses are pointers to the fact that there is vast investment opportunities. The ongoing expansion of the Lekki/Epe high way, the altra-modern international airport and the Lekki Free Trade zone projects potend great prosperity for real estate developers, commercial banking, eatries and restuarants, hotels, markets and shopping malls.
The service sector is not left out. There are tremendous opportunities for small business owners especially in the real estate subsector for building materials and allied products. This is the right time to start if you are want to be part of the growtyh that is bound to be experienced in the Lekki Peninsula axis of Lagos State in the near future.
