Its population is projected to nearly double over the next 15 years, growing from its current population of 13,463,420 to 23,418,770. Lagos is also at a disadvantage because it’s considered to be one of the fastest growing cities in the world, which will put a “strain on infrastructure and resources,” according to Smith. “In terms of roads, in terms of infrastructure, in terms of a general investment environment, in terms of security, the government has given people a greater opportunity to thrive.” Lagos has “transformed” over the last 18 years, Lamido Sanusi, a former central bank governor, told the Financial Times last year. The city is also a major transportation hub, with multiple ports and a major international airport and is a regional hub for high tech industry. The governor boasted that Lagos had reached a GDP of $136 billion in 2017, which is about a third of the entire country’s GDP.
