I've travelled to several
towns and cities in
Nigeria, and just last week
I and my collagues flew-
into Uyo city, Akwa Ibom state on a business
trip. I became quite
amazed at the rapid
growth and
transformation of Uyo
from a small town it used
to be [when i did my
youth service 11 years
ago] to an emerging
mega-city, with very
impressive infrastructure
supporting its economic
growth. Also, i have notice
that other cities in the
west and east nigeria are
increasing experiencing
decay in their
infrastructure. So am
curious to find out here
why some cities are
witnessing astronomical
growth, while others in
the same country are
experiencing decline in
infrastructure, economy
and population.
