Lagos has been ranked amongst the worst cities to live globally following the ‘Global Liveability Ranking’, by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) for 2015. The centre of excellence, Lagos was considered the fourth least (137) liveable city in the world on the list of 140. The survey took account of cities’ healthcare, education, safety, culture, environment and infrastructure.
This is the reality after the former Lagos state governor said his administration should not be gauged by the amount of debt {nearly N500billion or more} it left behind, but by the monumental achievements he made within his eight year term in office. By this score, the question now is, where are those said achievements?
Syrian city of Damascus which has been ravaged by the country’s civil war was named the worst, followed by Dhaka in Bangladesh, Port Morseby in Papua New Guinea, Lagos in Nigeria and the Libyan capital of Tripoli, which has also been the victim of an ISIS insurgency.
Meanwhile, Melbourne was once again named the best city in the world to live in for the fifth year in the row while Vienna in Austria came second followed by the Canada cities of Vancouver and Toronto, and Australia’s Adelaide.
