TIMELINE
2008
FOCUS
The accelerating pace of urbanisation in Niger State has been driven by the proximity of some of its towns and cities to the Federal Capital Territory. Currently, many workers reside in Niger State but commute daily to the FCT to work. Likewise, Minna, the state capital, has benefited from several schemes that have boosted urban expansion and growth.
COMMENTS
There is a NUP. However, there has not been sufficient implementation of the urban development strategy. That is due to a lack of political will, lack of mobilization of facilitating partners, the as poor management of urban areas.
