Over 50% of the population in Nigeria live in urban communities, with an expected growth of 3.75% per year. It is believed that by 2020 the country will see an urbanization rate of 61.6%.

The #LivingWhereILive community campaign was launched to promote a sense of pride in cities across the country. Created, and backed by global property portal Lamudi, the campaign takes preference in showcasing the country as a new port for investment, business, or a new home.
