A new research has identified “spatial injustice” and brain drain, among numerous others, as key factors affecting the provision of quality and affordable public healthcare services in Lagos State, Nigeria’s commercial nerve centre.
These were part of the findings of the African Cities Research Consortium (ACRC) in a recent research titled: “Lagos City of Systems: Food Security, Health and Safety, Environmental Sustainability”.
ACRC, according to the consortium’s Lagos City Lead and Professor of Urban Development and Governance at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka, Taibat Lawanson, is a six-year investment by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) of the United Kingdom, which is targetted at funding “new, operationally-relevant research to address intractable development challenges in African cities”.
