In America and the developed countries generally, development is spread across the country, but here in Nigeria, it's concentrated in two places - Lagos and Abuja. That's why Lagos is over congested because that's where almost all businesses, manufacturing and industries are located. Imagine people spending as much as 6 hours in the traffic due to overpopulation.

FG should move headquarters of several major agencies to other states, so as to attract development there. It should also mandate incoming foreign investors to go to other states instead of Lagos. Because it's not helping Lagos/Lagosians at all. I can't imagine waking up 4am and getting to my workplace by 8am.

For example, in the US many big companies have their headquarters and mega factories employing tens of thousands of people, in different states across the country instead of everybody converging in New York or Washington DC, like it's in Nigeria.

They should first of all wipe out all the bad elements in other states .

Kano

Borno

Anambra

Kastina

Kogi

Imo

Delta

Those states are rising up with several development that can attract investors but the fear of bandits and kidnappers is making it hard.

Major US companies and their HQ locations:
California (Adobe, Google, Apple, Chevron, eBay, Facebook, etc.)
Texas (ExxonMobil, AT&T - largest telecom provider in the US, Dell, American Airlines, Mary Kay, etc).

Whereas 100% of banks have their headquarters in Lagos or Abuja, in the US, they are scattered across the country. This causes the uniform spread of job availability across the country, instead of everybody hustling to come to one city to make it.

I pray they listen to you

Can you imagine that the headquarters of the CIA is not in Washington DC, but Virginia? Why can't DSS, NNPC or police HQ be in Bayelsa or Uyo? Or INEC HQ be in Enugu? Or MTN's be in Kaduna?
