In State being more developed than Lagos is really shocking

BeninRefugees:
Nobody is disputing this

SE by percentage land mass is the most built up!

totit:
First and foremost, let's appreciate God almighty for not saying or claiming the stats are fake.

Now, listen, did you notice OYO and Abeokuta are at the top?
Did you also notice the stats are dated back to 2020?

Are you also aware that was pre-the time the Dangote Refinery was built?

What about the various recent markets built by Lagos state to subsidize foods?

Think.

Percentage is the real measure of urbanization. Olodo

South East is 28,983km², 15.6% is 4,605km² I.e, only 4,605km ² of SE is built.

South West is 78,505Km ², 11.65% is 9,280Km ², I.e only 9,280Km ² of SW is built, thats 102% more built than SE.

South south is 85,315km ², 6.77% is 5,641km ²,I.e only 5,641km ² of SS is built, that’s 23% more built than SE.

North central is 231,677Km ², 2.99% is 6,927Km ², I.e only 6,927km ² of NC is built, that’s 50% more built than SE.

Northwest is 223,150km², 1.72% is 3,838km², I.e only 3,838km² of NW is built, that’s 17% less built than SE.

Northeast is 289,421km², 0.85% is 2,460km², I.e only 2,460km² of NE is built, that’s 47% less built than SE.

Therefore, Southwest, Northcentral & SouthSouth are far ahead of other regions.

totit:
Well, you are not far from the truth and that's why when you compare the % of SE to the urban area is the lowest when compared to SW.

Prove to me you are educated.

Now, talking about % Below is a well-detailed % analysis.
