Over 60 per cent of Nigeria’s 4.5 million IDPs live in cities, not camps, yet remain invisible in policy and the government's planning. This publication explores displacement urbanisation and the urgency of inclusive policy reform in Nigeria.
Public transport in Lagos is characterised by informal minibuses and the Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) system, a public-private partnership introduced in 2008. As an answer to the increasing pressure on the city’s limited space for road transport, Lagos State Government opened the first line of a metro rail system in September 2023 as a new era of mass passenger transport. This study examines whether the “Blue Line” has been able to realise government’s promise of a cost-effective and sustainable means of transport.
