Who will Lagos' poorest citizens be voting for?

Newsday

Available for over a year

It is the final day of campaigning ahead of Nigeria's elections on Saturday. Despite growing wealth in some of the country's commercial centres, Nigeria is also home to more people living in extreme poverty than any other nation. Almost all candidates in the election have promised to prioritise improving living standards - but who do voters have confidence in? Newsday's James Copnall visited one of the poorest areas of Lagos to find out which issues are seen as most important to people there.
