Key Facts

Lagos is a state located in the southwestern part of Nigeria, situated along the Atlantic Ocean coastline. As Nigeria's smallest state by land area at approximately 3,577 square kilometers, Lagos paradoxically serves as the country's most populous urban center with an estimated population exceeding 21 million people, making it one of the fastest-growing megacities in the world. The state is administratively divided into 20 Local Government Areas, which include both the mainland territories and the numerous islands that form the Lagos Lagoon system. Strategically positioned on the Gulf of Guinea, Lagos functions as Nigeria's primary economic hub and main seaport, handling the majority of the country's international trade. The state's geography encompasses coastal plains, mangrove swamps, and urban developments that have transformed much of the original landscape. As the former national capital until 1991, Lagos maintains significant political and cultural influence throughout Nigeria and West Africa.
