Good to see Lagos is developing, but Lagos-centric development will hobble Nigeria. If Lagos has 18-20 million people, that means over 170 or so million Nigerians are outside of it. Also, this piece lacks context. What about the poor of Lagos who have had their rights infringed due to illegal land seizures by the rich?
Nigeria has a long coastline. Warri, Calabar, Port Harcourt could be additional Lagos'. The Nigerian government has no interest (due to tribalism) in aiding the development of these ports and opening up the economies of various parts of Nigeria.
If you're an importer living in Onitsha, you have to import goods from Lagos instead of Warri or Port Harcourt. Sad.
