Urbanisation is spreading across Africa at great speed. Projections suggest that more than half of the total population will live in urban areas by 2050.

The population density of urban dwellers in Nigeria is growing at an annual rate of 50 per square kilometre and it's expected to rise to 450.9 per square kilometre by 2050.
