Onitsha Metropolitan Area Population Increases To Over 7million People by investnow2013: 6:35pm On Jun 30, 2018 |
Onitsha urban metropolis has been duly recognized as one of the most populated and Built up urban (not necessarily "most developed" areas in the world. In a article published by DEMOGRAPHIA titled Demographia World Urban Areas (Built up Urban Areas of World Agglomerations) : 14th Annual Edition. http://www.demographia.com/db-worldua.pdf . The rankings by the World body put Onitsha as the 49th Largest Built-Up Urban Areas in the World by Population in 2018 with estimated population of 7,850,00 million people and as the 47th Largest Built-Up Urban Areas in the World by Land Area. A built-up area is an area such as a town or city which has a lot of buildings in it Built-Up Area or Plinth Area - Total covered area of the apartment or commercial property unit. It can be calculated by adding areas of utility ducts within property unit, internal and external walls to the carpet are. As a rule of thumb, built up area can be calculated by adding 10% loading factor on carpet area. The Onitsha metropolitan urban areas include : > Onitsha Urban (Onitsha North and South LGAs) Fegge, Inland Town, Omagba, Akpaka ,GRA > Okpoko > Nkutaku/Ogbaru Metro > 3/3 Area > Obosi/ Awada / Ugwuagba / Odume Layout > Nkpor Area up to Ugwunwasike/ New Tarzan >Nsugbe Urban > Nkwelle Ezunnaka Urban > Ogidi Urban Population and Urbanization are usually key criteria investors put into consideration when studying a location for potential investments. Onitsha has evolved from a crime-ridden Market city to a more modern urban Economic centre in the country. Investors investing in diverse sectors in the city are now getting their ROI in record time. There have been recent influx of multinational companies, large scale industries, media houses (especially radio stations,increasing from just one station to over 16 commercial radio stations covering the metropolis in just 6 years), and other businesses. The state government in foresight mapped out industrial hubs in Onitsha with the major ones : Harbour Industrial Hub and Odume Industrial Layout with hundreds of industries abound. Onitsha is well known to be the economic nerve of South Eastern Nigeria and the second largest Trade and Commercial city sub sahara Africa after Lagos despite limitations ofminimal governmental presence in the city especially at the federal level. A functional cargo airport and river port will really do the city a whole lot of good in every sense of it. @porschethane @onitshametro Photo credit: Egwuatu Olisa #onitshasocialmedia 2 Likes |

It was always that population. Nigeria deliberately undercounts Onitsha because revenue allocation was based on population. Therefore, in order to cheat, places like Onitsha, they under-count them. But international organizations just concerned with mapping where human habitat are located globally are not constrained to lie like the Nigerian fake figures. This is partly why Nigeria cannot progress without restructuring the country. There has to be a way to plan for these population centers outside the politics of Abuja, else Nigeria will naturally implode at some point. 18 Likes 1 Share |

investnow2013: The second niger bridge is coming with interchanges, though I'm doubtful of whether the rail adjoinment is still part and parcel of the structural design, The state government recently constituted road design committee, let's wait to see their output, Not just osha, but awka, nnewi and other places, needs more interconnectedness via road infrastructure, We heard of Regina caeli flyover, revenue Junction interchange,in recent past but still no actions, Wonder how long the state government gonna wait on FG to reimburse her, for expenditures expended on federal road projects? For a start parts of awka is being expanded, that is a plus. 2 Likes
