Lagos Rising: A Megacity in Motion
Lagos is expanding like a star that refuses to burn out. Talent, trade, entrepreneurship, and digital services are piling into the city’s arteries with unstoppable force.
Infrastructure remains the critical gatekeeper. Roads, power grids, and public services still tether growth, but investment inflows are gaining rhythm. Global observers are paying close attention.
My prediction: Lagos lands in the top 15, not top 10, by 2029—but its trajectory points sharply upward for the 2030s.
