The beautiful city of Lagos accounts for over 60 percent of all industrial and commercial activities, and a quarter of the nation’s GDP.

Lagos is one of the fastest growing cities in the world, growing 10 times faster than New York. 86 immigrants enter Lagos every minute of the day, which is the highest in any city in the world.
