“…Alemayehu (2004) revealed that many road projects in developing countries are financed by bank loans, grants and some sort of consortium between parties. Investment on road projects is vital to development; Ali and Rieker (2008) stated that efficient infrastructure, such as road projects are not only crucial to the growth of local economy but closely linked to modernization of such environment. Adama (2018) maintained that investment in infrastructure is a popular strategy for attracting private capital.…”

Decision making process for prioritizing investment on road projects can be very challenging within the public sector as it is influenced by several factors such as political, social and economic factors. The importance of designing a reliable scientific model to address the associated challenges is key for making optimal decisions about investment in road projects. This study focused on prioritizing investment on road projects in Lagos State. In a bid to achieve this, a fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making model was developed. The model comprised of the Delphi Technique, Analytic Hierarchy Process, and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution. The Delphi technique was utilized to determine and rank criteria that should be considered. Agreement among raters was measured using Kendall’s coefficient of concordance (W). A simplified model for decision-making on prioritization of investment on road projects was developed with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). AHP was employed for obtaining the weight of each criterion considered, while TOPSIS was used to analyze three existing projects based on the criteria already identified in this study. The result showed that Agege - Pen Cinema Flyover ranked as the most important alternative for consideration, while Agric - Isawo Road and, Lekki-Epe Expressway ranked second and third respectively.

“…Among others, Roy (2011a) cites deregulation of urban space as one of the highlights of the world-class city. The role of urban space in the intricate and entangled relationship between modernity and neoliberalism in the context of world-class city construction is aptly captured in the notion that a beautiful, clean and orderly city is more likely to attract foreign investors because they offer comfortable and liveable spaces (Ali and Rieker 2008;Adama 2018).…”

“…The phenomenal growth in population has created enormous problems including traffic congestion, infrastructure decay, urban sprawl and slums (Ilesanmi 2010). Interestingly, Lagos enjoyed huge investments in infrastructure at the height of Nigeria's oil boom in the 1970s, but decades later, the city has over two hundred slum settlements (Ali and Rieker 2008). As Nigeria's capital from the colonial era until 1991 and the centre of economic activities, Lagos has a high political and economic significance that puts it at the forefront of Nigeria's modern aspirations (Omezi 2014).…”

Slum upgrading in the era of World-Class city construction: the case of Lagos, Nigeria

The paper examines the tensions that accompany slum upgrading in the era of worldclass city construction. The focus is a slum upgrading project in Lagos, Nigeria. The paper observes the intertwining of modernist and neoliberal ideologies in world-class city construction and in slum upgrading projects. The entanglement centres on a number of shared interests; the prioritization of infrastructure and notions about urban space, participation and citizenship. As documented, the project and by extension world-class city construction fails to acknowledge the livelihoods of the poor and is undermined by protests. Historical legacies and systemic failings of governance present additional obstacles. The paper seeks to broaden the scope of world-class city research by acknowledging the local context, but at the same time recognizing the global links. Along these lines, the paper suggests that slum upgrading provides an opportunity to examine how the local is inserted into the global.
