Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial hub, has been ranked second least liveable cities in the world in the first quarter of 2021.
According to the data, Lagos is only next to Damascus, Syria as the worst city to live in the world, and worse than Algiers (Algeria) and Tripoli (Libya).
The data is compiled by the Economist Intelligence Unit (The EIU). The survey ranked 140 cities on factors including stability, infrastructure, education and access to healthcare but also added the factor of the Coronavirus pandemic which has greatly decided people’s choices when choosing places to live in.
Auckland, in New Zealand, topped the list of The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Liveability rankings, based on the city’s ability to contain the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic faster and thus lift restrictions earlier, unlike others around the world.
In addition, six of the top ten cities in the March 2021 survey are in New Zealand or Australia, where tight border controls have allowed residents to live relatively normal lives.
The ten least liveable cities in 2021 are;
