The Zonal Structure

•Island 1 represents areas right from Eko Idumota to Victoria Island.

•Island 2 spans Lekki Phase 1 all through Chevron. •Island 3 moves from Ajah to Lakowe.

•Mainland however represents all other areas before the Lagos lagoon/Atlantic Ocean. •Thus, Mainland 1 spans Surulere all through through Gbagada.

•Mainland 2 represents the Ajeromi Ifelodun areas including Isolo.

•Mainland 3 is the seat of Power, that is, the Ikeja and Maryland axis.

•Mainland 4 are the areas close to Lagos border with Ogun State.

Average Price of Land Across the Zones

•On the mainland, the farther the area from the seat of power (Mainland 3 – Ikeja), the lower the average price of land.

•Although Ogba and Magodo (Mainland 4) are closer to Ikeja than, average price of land is higher  in Yaba, Surulere and Gbagada axis because they are closer to the island – the fastest growing part of Lagos state.

•On the Island, the closer the area to Victoria Island (Island 1), the more expensive the average price of land.

•Victoria and Lagos Island is where most of companies situate their head quarters, hence prices are higher there.

•Ajah areas (Island 3) are relatively cheap because for now, they are very far from where significant economic activities take place in Lagos state.
