The Reality of Lagos Housing Crisis: A Struggle for Shelter

The harsh realities of the housing crisis in Lagos, Nigeria, unfold as over 20 million residents grapple with the challenge of securing affordable and decent shelter. As the city faces unregulated urban sprawl and soaring rent prices, many find themselves trapped in inadequate living conditions.

Experts discuss the impact of monopolistic practices in the building materials market and the challenges posed by land-owning families, further complicating the situation. However, there is hope as urban planners and housing advocates propose innovative solutions and the potential role of technology in creating a more equitable housing landscape. Join us as we uncover the complexities of Lagos' housing dilemma and the urgent need for change.
