Surulere is one of the most densely populated areas in Lagos State. According to a document by the state government titled “Abstract of Local Government Statistics, 2016”, published by the Lagos Bureau of Statistics, the projected population of Surulere LGA in 2016 was 1,746,183 with a projected population density of 64,554.
Despite this huge population, about half of this number does not have a representative in the green chamber of the National Assembly following the resignation of the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila.
