Slums: Some Definitions

UN-HABITAT defines a slum household as a group of individuals living under the same roof in an urban area who
lack one or more of the following:

1. Durable housing of a permanent nature that protects against extreme climate conditions.

2. Sufficient living space which means not more than three people sharing the same room.

3. Easy access to safe water in sufficient amounts at an affordable price.

4. Access to adequate sanitation in the form of a private or public toilet shared by a reasonable number of
people.

5. Security of tenure that prevents forced evictions.

Every state in Nigeria has slums. in fact,what you will see in some States is an insult to the word called slum.

Exactly!

This means that Lagos is really a huge slum. Honestly I just realised most of the people in Ikotun and many other parts of Lagos stay in public compounds with very bad living conditions. I mean not just Lagos but other parts of Nigeria as well.

May God help Nigeria.
