"What Makes Lagos a Model City"

Lagos a Model City? | Africa Investing
In a recent New York Times Op-Ed column, Seth D. Kaplan, a professorial lecturer in the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at John Hopkins University, and the author of "Betrayed: Poltics, Power and Prosperity," posits that Nigeria is "arguably the worst run of the world's seven most populated countries." But interestingly, Kaplan asserts, Lagos -- Nigeria's largest city, seems to have turned a corner.
Nigeria, of all places, Kaplan writes, may be pointing the way to a strategy by which fragile states might begin to succeed. In other words, using Lagos as his primary example, Kaplan suggests cities can help save countries.
To get the full benefit of Prof. Kaplan's reasoning, follow this link to read "What Makes Lagos a Model City."
