Abstract

Urbanization, as well as increasing demand for adequate urban infrastructure in Nigerian cities is seemingly an unstoppable process in the country. With a peculiar demographic history and unique urbanization trend, the country has got a dense network of urban center which infrastructure needs are unequalled elsewhere in Africa. The ongoing economic reforms in Nigeria envisage that urban development funds from federal and state governments should be drastically reduced and gradually removed. However, immediate and remote implication s of the reform programs in Nigerian cities, towns and growth centers are continued growth in urban populations, socioeconomic activities seeking to locate, relocate or expand their sizes within the cities.
