Lagos is rated as the second worst city in the world to live in, according to a yearly evaluation from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) that was made public on Thursday.
Lagos was ranked 171 out of 172 countries on the list of the world’s most livable cities for the first quarter of 2022, according to the most recent Global Liveability Index data.

With scores of 30.7, 32.2, 34.2, 37.0, and 37.5, respectively, Karachi in Pakistan, Damascus in Syria, Lagos in Nigeria, Tripoli in Libya, and Algiers in Algeria were the cities with the lowest quality of life.

Based on a variety of factors, including infrastructure, the presence of green space, crime rates, access to healthcare, and political stability, the EIU ranked 173 cities worldwide. The standard of healthcare, education, infrastructure, stability, and culture are taken into consideration by the EIU when assessing the quality of life in each city.
