What's meant by Urban population? There are multiple definitions of what constitutes urban…, and they are no comparable. It is estimated that nearly two-thirds of countries utilize an administrative
definition to classify urban areas, but almost all of them add an additional element such as population
size, density, economic occupation or urban functions to characterize urban settings. Another 49
countries utilize only population size and density, but this number doubles when it is used in conjunction
with other criteria.
Things are made more complicated when analyzing population thresholds used by countries. While
Denmark or Iceland define urban locals when they have only 200 inhabitants or more, The Netherlands
and Nigeria fix a threshold of 20,000, Mali opts for 30,000 inhabitants, and Japan's cities known as shi
refer to population of 50,000 inhabitants or more. When was the independence of Nigeria? In 1960, Nigeria was granted political independence as a sovereign state under the 1960 Constitution which provided for a parliamentary system of government, 3 regions (Northern, Eastern and Western Regions), a bicameral legislative framework at the federal (Senate and House of Representatives) and regional levels (House of Assembly and House of Chiefs) with the legislative powers of government delineated into three categories or lists – exclusive, concurrent and residual. How much was the urban population of Nigeria in 1960? 6.956 million.
Nigeria's urban population at independence was approximately 7 million.
