Nigeria Overview
The largest city in Nigeria is Kano, with a population of 17,510,247 people.
With 12 cities boasting populations exceeding one million, it is no wonder that Nigeria is one of the most populous countries in the world. Its biggest city, Kano, contributes 17.5M residents to the total population. Nigeria has a total of 36 states, and 774 Local Government Areas that are spread across the 6th most populous country in the world.
Over half of Nigeria‘s population live in rural areas — 52% to be exact. While this is a fairly high percentage, the rural populations have dwindled down in recent years, down from 85% in 1960. This reduction in numbers is likely due to problems faced in the rural areas of Nigeria, which include a lack of or sporadic electricity, sanitary conditions, and of course, the lack of industry. Many natives are moving into urbanized, developed areas to take advantage of job opportunities and to avoid a life of poverty found in many of the smaller cities and villages in the country.
