Influence of Urbanisation on Rural-Urban Migration in Nigeria
Geography — 2025, Undergraduate
This study investigated the influence of urbanisation on rural-urban migration in Nigeria. A mixed-methods approach combining questionnaires with interviews of migrants in selected cities was adopted. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The findings revealed that urban pull factors such as employment, education, and services, together with rural push factors such as limited opportunities, drove migration flows, contributing to urban growth and rural labour loss. The study observed concentration of migration among the youth. It recommends balanced regional development and improved rural livelihoods to moderate migration.
