UN Projects Lagos to Become World’s Largest City by 2100

Nigeria’s urban population is surging at an unprecedented rate. United Nations estimates show Lagos growing from about 25 million today to over 88 million residents by 2100. Based on current economic growth trends, AI models predict Nigeria and other African nations will be highly advanced and developed by the end of the century. This demographic transformation could position Nigeria as a leading global power in the decades ahead.
