Per-item analysis

Lagos

Lagos is the #95 metro by economic size ($130bn) in the panel and ranks #50/162 on absolute Metro Power and #149/162 on per-capita intensity. No pillar stands out as a clear strength; the binding concern is infrastructure. Locally it runs above the Nigeria national average (MCC 23.4 vs CC 14.1).

Strengths

  • No standout strength.

Risk factors

  • Binding weakness — Infrastructure 20.9 (#159/162, Lagging): infrastructure gaps cap how much AI can actually be run locally.
