About this listen

Nigeria’s biggest city is demolishing two densely populated waterfront communities to make way for urban renewal, displacing thousands of poor residents in the process.

On this week’s episode, Tiwa Adebayo sitting in for Jennifer Zabasajja, is joined by Bloomberg’s Nigeria bureau chief Anthony Osae-Brown and Toni Fola-Alade, the co-founder of Charity Dogood.Africa, who saw their school demolished earlier this year. They discuss what’s happened to the communities impacted, how the Lagos Government is compensating people and what the future might be for poorer communities in Lagos.
