Lagos Faces Strain as 6,000 New Entrants Arrive Daily, Deputy Governor Hamzat Highlights Resource Challenges
Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, disclosed that Lagos welcomes over 6,000 new arrivals daily, with around 3,000 opting to stay without known addresses, intensifying pressure on the city’s infrastructure.
Addressing the 2024 Annual Directors Conference Dinner, Hamzat highlighted Lagos’ population of 27 million and its budget of N2.2 trillion, which he compared to New York State’s $237 billion budget for a smaller population of 19.5 million.
Representing Governor Sanwo-Olu, Hamzat pointed out that New York’s budget for child protective services alone exceeds the combined budgets of Lagos and five Nigerian states, underscoring the financial gap affecting Lagos’ ability to meet growing demands.
He also attributed some social challenges to weakened family structures, noting over 130,000 cases of family abandonment in Lagos. Strengthening family units, he said, is essential for sustainable social development.
