Abstract

Nigeria’s urban population growth rate is currently estimated at 4.1%, and the urban population is expected to double by over 200m by 2050. A burgeoning urban population could be regarded as both advantageous and disadvantageous, considering the increase in human resources, as well as the competition for scarce resources. Therefore, while population increase appears difficult to control in Nigeria, growing governance capacity to manage such increase is the most viable alternative.
