Lagos State has been ranked the fourth worst City to live-in in the world, according to the Economic Intelligences (EIU) Global Liveability Index 2023 report.
The EIUs index quantifies the challenges presented to an individuals lifestyle in 173 cities worldwide.
In the report, Lagos ranked 170 of 173, making it the fourth worst city to live in the world. Lagos only ranked better than Algiers (171), Tripoli (172) and Damascus (173).
The report, however, said even at the bottom of the rankings, cities such as Lagos (Nigeria) and Algiers (Algeria) have gained ground, with some improvements in their healthcare and education systems.
Also, the report stated that war-ravaged Damascus (Syria), the lowest-ranked city in the survey, has seen no improvement in its liveability scores despite the regional political comeback of its president, Bashar al-Assad.
