On a visit to Lagos prior to Nigeria’s election, Paul Adams uses the slogan of President Goodluck Jonathan – “Nigeria is working” – to ask “for whom?”

ARI director Edward Paice's column for the Africa Report discusses Lagos as a model and case study for the use of property tax in Africa.

Paul Adams tries to make sense of Lagos, its “free-spirited political elite” and the model of development which has seen it labelled a Nigerian exception.
