Introduction

Lagos sometimes referred to as Lagos State to distinguish it from Lagos Metropolitan Area, is a state located in the south-western geopolitical zone of Nigeria. It is the smallest state by geographical size in Nigeria. It is arguably the most economically important state of the country, containing Lagos (as a city), and the nation's largest urban area. It is a major financial center and would be the fifth largest economy in Africa if it were a country.

According to the World Population Review, Lagos State is the second most populated State in Nigeria after Kano State with approximately 17.5 million people living in it. It has twenty local government areas and various sub-cities and towns within. Most of these cities and towns are commercial areas that give the state the leverage of being the leading economy of the country. Major of these commercial cities and towns are Lagos Metropolitan Area, Ikeja, Lekki, Ikorodu, Eko-Atlantic, Badagry, Epe and Ojo and etc.

The State is Nigeria’s economic focal point, generating a significant portion of the country’s GDP (a quarter). Most commercial and financial businesses are carried out in the central business district situated on the island. This is also where most of the country’s commercial banks, financial institutions, and major corporations are headquartered. These and more are some of the various reasons why many people would want to work in Lagos.
