UNILAG Stakeholders Examine Urbanization and Climate Risks in Ajegunle-Ikorodu

Over the past three decades, Ajegunle-Ikorodu in Agboyi-Ketu Local Council Development Area (LCDA) has experienced rapid land use and land cover changes, transforming from a predominantly green landscape into a densely built-up community.

This transformation has intensified climate-related hazards, particularly flooding, while also increasing residents’ exposure to heat waves and food-borne diseases.

On Tuesday, March 3, 2026, the Centre for Housing and Sustainable Development (CHSD), an ARUA Centre of Excellence in Urbanization and Habitable Cities at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) hosted a stakeholder consultation forum in collaboration with the African Cities Research Consortium (ACRC), University of Manchester. The forum took place at the Arthur Mbanefo Digital Research Centre, UNILAG.
