📢 Dear #ActiveCitizen, It is Local Government election season! Now is a good time to ask your Local Government Chairman how he spent your money. ➡️ Get started with me.budgit.org #AskQuestions
@openstreetmap @hotosm @openmapping_wna Special thanks to @Odulana_Toyin @00Ultimo @mercixs_gis
@openstreetmap We partnered with the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team - West and North Africa Hub @hotosm @openmapping_wna. They matched us with experienced volunteers from the OpenStreetMap community in Nigeria who trained our team to process and upload the ferry data. hotosm.org/projects/impro…
We are happy to share that our #LagosFerryMap data is now live on @openstreetmap! Publishing on OpenStreetMap is an important milestone for making the information accessible to more people, solving a critical information gap about mobility and public transportation in Lagos.
"As Lagos residents struggle with some of the world’s worst traffic congestion, an overlooked alternative is finally coming into clearer focus: water transport." "A new map visualises ferry routes in metropolitan Lagos" - @IkejaRecord ikejarecord.com/a-new-map-visu…
Have you explored the first-ever comprehensive map of private and public ferries in Lagos? With #lagostraffic worsening and commute times stretching longer, #watertransportation can be a more efficient time-saving alternative. Visit link.stears.co/ferries to begin.
Taking the ferry > sitting in traffic. Check out the map now: link.stears.co/ferries
Tired of Lagos traffic? Try the water routes! Cut your commute with the first-ever map of public and private ferry routes across Lagos. #lagosferrymap #lagosferryservice #lagosferry #ikejarecord

Knowing which population to use and trust (or not) is critical for many projects. We look forward to illuminating this important issue. #AfricasFuture #PopulationGrowth

Africa’s total urban footprint is projected to expand from 175,000 to 450,000 km² in 2050. This rapid growth is an opportunity to rethink urban planning, infrastructure investment, and land use policies to ensure sustainable and equitable development across the continent.
These are the most populated countries in #Africa, home to a significant share of the continent’s human capital. With growing cities, dynamic markets, and youthful populations, they continue to impact the continent significantly.
These cities are set to become Africa’s top 10 largest urban agglomerations by 2050, shaping the continent’s economy and future. As populations rise, so will the need for smarter planning, inclusive policies, and sustainable infrastructure. Is your city on the list?
