THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE NEW TOWN POLICY IN MANAGING GROWTH AND CONGESTION IN MEGA CITIES: A CASE STUDY OF LAGOS, NIGERIA NEW TOWN POLICY by Abolaji Samson Olanipekun A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Graduate College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Masters of Arts Department of Geography Advisor: Benjamin Ofori-Amoah, Ph.D. Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, Michigan June 2013 THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE NEW TOWN POLICY IN MANAGING GROWTH AND CONGESTION IN MEGA CITIES: A CASE STUDY OF LAGOS, NIGERIA NEW TOWN POLICY Abolaji Samson Olanipekun, M.A. Western Michigan University, 2013 One of the major challenges facing municipal governments of megacities in developing countries is shortage of urban infrastructures relative to population growth. Because cities play important role in the economic development of every nation, problems confronting them require proactive policy measures by the government. One such mega city is Lagos, Nigeria. From 1962 to 2006, the population of Lagos grew from 1,135,805 to 17.5 million. Crammed on a 2200 square kilometer land area of which 18.9%, Lagos population is projected to reach 20.5 million by 2015, an explosion largely driven by the non-regulatory internal migration system. The result of this has been a persistent problem of housing crisis, vehicular congestion, environmental pollution and the spread of slums with the associated high crime rate. In 1981 the Lagos State New Town Development Authority (NTDA) was established to create new towns in order to manage the growth of Lagos and decongest the metropolitan area. This idea was borrowed from the UK, among other countries. The history of new town development globally has been that of a mixed outcome and the three decades of new town development in Lagos has also not produced any real impact on infrastructural development and spatial socio-economic equity in Lagos. The central question of this project therefore is to what extent has the Lagos new town project solve the infrastructural and congestion problems confronting Lagos mega city? Survey was designed to get the opinion of the Lagos new towns residents about the effectiveness of the new town policy. Outcome of the analysis shows that three decades of new town development efforts has not helped to achieve spatial socio-economic equity, decongestion and infrastructural adequacy in Lagos.

  • Locational Analysis of Primary Health Facilities in Ikorodu Local Government Area of Lagos State Using Multimedia GIS Approach By
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 9, Issue 5, May-2018 2008 ISSN 2229-5518 Locational Analysis of Primary Health Facilities in Ikorodu Local Government Area of Lagos State using Multimedia GIS Approach By Akinpelu, A.A., Ojiako, J.C., Amusa, I.A. & Akindiya, O.M. ABSTRACT Health care services deal with diagnosis and treatment of disease or the promotion, maintenance and restoration of health. The locational analysis of Primary Health Centres in Ikorodu Local Government Area of Lagos State was examined using Multimedia GIS approach. The study adopted GIS and Remote Sensing methods to look into the locations of these Primary Health care centres spread across the local government area. Geospatial database of the facilities was designed and created from where analyses were performed. Primary and secondary data types were used. The primary data are the X,Y coordinates of the Primary Health Centres while the secondary data were the administrative maps of the study area. The analyses included spatial queries, attributes queries and hyperlink that involved linking the spatial data with the pictures and audio files in the database done with ArcGIS 10.3. The spatial query showed that 5 wards have no PHC, 10 wards have 1 each, 5 wards have 2 each and 1 ward has three PHCs. The attribute query showed that 9 PHCs are located via good roads, 8 via fair roads and 6 via bad roads. Linking the picture and audio files were possible by using field-based hyperlinks and defining a dynamic hyperlink using the Identify tool. The aim and objectives of the study were achieved and recommendations were made in line with the findings.

    Responses to Information Requests - Immigration and Refugee Board of... https://www.irb-cisr.gc.ca/en/country-information/rir/Pages/index.aspx?... Nigeria: Badoo cult, including areas of operation and activities; state response to the group; treatment of Badoo members or alleged members (2016-December 2019) 1. Overview Nigerian media sources have reported on the following: "'Badoo Boys'" (The Sun 27 Aug. 2019); "Badoo cult" (Vanguard with NAN 2 Jan. 2018; This Day 22 Jan. 2019); "Badoo gang" (Business Day 9 July 2017); "Badoo" (Vanguard with NAN 2 Jan. 2018). A July 2017 article in the Nigerian newspaper Business Day describes Badoo as "[a] band of rapists and ritual murderers that has been wreaking havoc on residents of Ikorodu area" of Lagos state (Business Day 9 July 2017). The article adds that [t]he Badoo gang’s reign of terror has reportedly spread throughout Lasunwon, Odogunyan, Ogijo, Ibeshe Tutun, Eruwen, Olopomeji and other communities in Ikorodu. Their underlying motivation seems to be ritualistic in nature. The gang members are reported to wipe their victims’ private part[s] with a white handkerchief after each rape for onward delivery to their alleged sponsors; slain victims have also been said to have had their heads smashed with a grinding stone and their blood and brain soaked with white handkerchiefs for ritual purposes. Latest reports quoted an arrested member of the gang to have told the police that each blood-soaked handkerchief is sold for N500,000 [Nigerian Naira, NGN] [approximately C$2,000]. (Business Day 9 July 2017) A 2 January 2018 report in the Nigerian newspaper Vanguard provided the following context: It all started after a suspect, described by some residents of Ikorodu area as a "serial rapist and ritual killer," was arrested at Ibeshe.

  • Changing Values of Traditional Marriage Among the Awori in Badagry Local Government
    International Journal of Social & Management Sciences, Madonna University (IJSMS) Vol.1 No.1, March 2017; pg.131 – 138 CHANGING VALUES OF TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE AMONG THE AWORI IN BADAGRY LOCAL GOVERNMENT OLARINMOYE, ADEYINKA WULEMAT & ALIMI, FUNMILAYO SOFIYAT Department of Sociology, Lagos State University. Email address: [email protected] Abstract Some decades ago, it would have seemed absurd to question the significance of traditional marriage among the Awori-Yoruba of Southwestern Nigeria, as it was considered central to the organization of adult life. However, social change has far reaching effects on African traditional life. For instance, the increased social acceptance of pre-marital cohabitation, pre-marital sex and pregnancies and divorce is wide spread among the Yoruba people of today. This however appeared to have replaced the norms of traditional marriage; where marriage is now between two individuals and not families. This research uncovers what marriage values of the Yoruba were and how these values had been influenced overtime. The qualitative method of data collection was used. Data was collected and analyzed utilizing the content analysis and ethnographic summary techniques. The study revealed that modernization, education, mixture of cultures and languages, inter-marriage and electronic media have brought about changes in traditional marriage, along with consequences such as; drop in family standard, marriage instability, weak patriarchy system, and of values and customs. Despite the social changes, marriage remains significant value for individuals, families and in Yoruba society as a whole. Keywords: Traditional values, marriage, social change, Yoruba. INTRODUCTION The practice of marriage is apparently one of the most interesting aspects of human culture.

  • Annual School Census Report 2009 – 2010 June 2010
    MINISTRY OF EDUCATION LAGOS STATE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA ANNUAL SCHOOL CENSUS REPORT 2009 – 2010 JUNE 2010 LAGOS STATE SCHOOL CENSUS REPORT 2009-2010 Lagos State Ministry of Education August 2010 Lagos State School Census Report 2009-2010 Preface Data is acknowledged as being essential for effective planning of our education sector. In past years the annual school census has been less successful, but the November 2009 census was carried out in a totally new way. The process started with the development of an appropriate questionnaire for the purpose of getting relevant and accurate data geared towards planning needs. The questionnaire used in the past was shortened and drastically changed to meet these needs. Census personnel were trained on the questionnaire and a new method of data collection was used: enumerators interviewed head teachers rather than leaving teachers to interpret the form for themselves. The ministry received support from ESSPIN (Education Sector Support Programme in Nigeria) on capacity building of the different levels of officers that assisted in the data gathering and analysis. All records were broken this year as the data was ready by the end of April 2010, as opposed to previous years when data would be ready for use at the end of the year, i.e. too late to be used in planning the next school year. This report captures the main features of the school census data, and is hereby presented for policy making and planning, and for use by researchers. Deputy Governor of Lagos State State Ministry of Education August 2010 i August 2010 Lagos State School Census Report 2009-2010 Executive summary This summary presents some of the main findings of the Annual School Census Report.
