In spite of the growing population in Lagos and applicants, why are graduates more interested in relocating to lagos to find a greener pasture?

Please share your opinion and views on whether Lagos still remains the ideal place of job seekers or if there are other states job seekers can look up to.

Im sorry but as an African man i think i can answer that with a question wink

why are companies establishing there offices in Lagos despite the growing population?


Simple, new companies are been established in Lagos to take advantage of the growing population, while people seeking jobs are relocating to fit in those companies. smiley

That is just a major reason there are others ; like Lagos has that flexibility to accommodate any class, same reason while migration to urban areas like Abuja is at its minimal, cost of living there is so high, its mainly for rich alone.


Urbanization : is the physical growth of urban areas as a result of rural migration and even suburban concentration into cities in search for greener pasture. wink

Lagos has the most diversified economy in Nigeria. Everything from Health, Food, Maritime, Oil & Gas, Aviation, banking, commerce, I.T, e.t.c

Secondly, most of the companies are all head quartered in Lagos.

[size=14pt]Because it has been developed by the federal government for over five decades with the Niger Delta oil revenue.[/size]
IF the revenue allocation is changed to revenue CONTRIBUTION as it was before Nzeogwu's January 1966 coup,
there will be more development in the Niger Delta and people will flock there for employment.

there lotta things that comes to mind
1.Lagos is full of opportunities
2.Since most job seekers want to work for private companies and lagos has the largest population of private companies
3.Standard of living is relatively low compared to other cities that have similar facilities with Lagos
4.The 9ja factor "if you can make it in lagos,you can make it anywhere"
5.SOCIALIZATION...

Talking about Lagos. The truth is, Lagos is a Haven of opportunities. No city in Nigeria has as much opportunities in Nigeria as Lagos. With lots of places to work and lots of things to lay your hands on, from banks to Oil firms, muiltinationals, NGOs, and even to the Entertainment industry!

Abuja is another good place to live if you are a job seeker. Though many claim that you have to know somebody who knows somebody that can give you a job. But in all, there are lots of opportunities in the Federal government parastatals, Ministries, International NGOs etc.


Last but not the least is Port Harcourt, the Oil city of Nigeria, with a bunch of opportunities in the Oil and Gas industry and other lucrative sectors.

My point is, these cities are the job hub of the nation... grin grin grin wink

Lagos is to Nigeria as the United States is to the world.

Despite the mediocre economic status and high unemployment rates in the United States (not compared to Nigeria of course), it is still the number one destination for dream seekers. Some genuinely want to go to Lagos because of its advancements and infrastructural stability but most graduates are delusional in thinking that Lagos is the place to make it big!

Good Luck!

Lagos has evolved into a cosmopolitan city. No other place in Nigeria are people from different cultures/tribes/race accepted more than in Lagos. It is not even about the money anymore, Lagos is a tolerant place.
