  • Abstract
    Despite Nigeria´s enormous oil wealth, tens of billions of dollars have gone missing over the years in this country - one of the world´s most corrupt - and few investments have been made in infrastructure. This paper presents environmental, health, political and energy problems the Lagos city of Nigeria is currently experiencing.
