Ibadan – Ibadan, the Oyo State capital has been named the second fastest growing city in Africa for the year 2022, according to United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) research

In a post by Business Insider through its official Instagram handle; @businessinsiderssa, Ibadan is rated behind Accra, Ghana and above Lagos, which occupies the third position.

The post, which was captioned— “Top Ten Fastest Growing Cities in Africa”, saw two Nigerian cities occupying key positions.

Some of the key metrics of measure listed by UN-Habitat research are; urbanisation, industrialisation, population and job opportunities.

It added that the growth of these cities can be attributed to population boom and increased economic activities.

According to Brahima Coulibaly, Director of Brookings’ Africa Growth Initiative, “About half of the world’s fastest-growing economies will be located on the continent, with 20 economies expanding at an average rate of 5 per cent or higher over the next five years, faster than the 3.6 per cent rate for the global economy.

“By 2050, Africa’s population is anticipated to reach about 2 billion inhabitants, and more economic activities are taking place, counterbalancing the increasing population.”

The list include the following cities: Accra, Ghana , Ibadan, Nigeria, Lagos, Nigeria, Dakar, Senegal, Abidjan, Côte d’voire,
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Luanda, Angola,Kinshasa, DRC,
Nairobi, Kenya and
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Meanwhile, some Nigerian Instagram users have reacted to the ratings, praising the Oyo State governor, ‘Seyi Makinde for his quick, impactful and data based policy making. Other users were simply amazed at the list while others refuted it.

Wow that’s great, the incumbent Governor Seyi Makinde tried in developing the State to the best State in the SW region.

All thanks goes to GSM.

Ibadan my Ibadan ..

The best city in Nigeria .. next to Calabar and Jos ..
Kaduna if not religious and tribal matters .

Power to the people

Welcome Makinde .

After Ibadan

Lagos state comes second among other states like Ebonyi state as the fastest growing cities in Nigeria

IBADAN is the second fastest growing city in Africa. This is not farfetched from the good governance, accelerated development and people-oriented policy been enjoyed by the city of Ibadan and Oyo state at large and been emulated by the present administration under the leadership of our amiable Governor, Engr Oluwaseyi Makinde.

Its being lot of good works in the last three years and 'ise rere o gbodo duro'. That's the reason it is a must we #seyileekansi, for another 4 years of tremendous achievements, accelerated development, adequate security, Impactful programs, good jobs, thriving businesses, quality education and whole lot of other good things.

One good term deserves another! Let's support and vote the working Governor once again. Let us SeyiBayo.
