Preface The literacy survey was conceptualized to bring into the fore the quality and quantity of
the citizenry that could undertake social‐economic activities based on their ability to
read and write. It is also intended to contribute meaningfully to the programmes that
would facilitate the attainment of Universal Basic Education (MDG 1). The Survey also
provides evidence based information to policy makers, researchers and professionals in
the field of education and human development.
The first in the series of the Literacy survey in Lagos State was conducted in 1998 by the
Lagos State Agency for Mass Education with technical and funding assistance from
UNDP while a renowned consultant “ROMIS CONSULTANTS LIMITED, was engaged for
the survey.
The current one is the second in the series and had been expanded in content, scope
and quality and was carried out in the 3rd quarter 2011 by Lagos Bureau of Statistics,
Ministry Economic Planning and Budget on behalf of Agency for Mass Education (AME}.
A combination of both primary and secondary data sources were employed in the
conduct of the survey. The AME provided some technical inputs in accordance with
national and international classification of services expected of Agencies of this kind
while the analysis and report writing was done by Lagos Bureau of Statistics (LBS).
The Lagos Bureau of Statistics, Ministry of Economic Planning and Budget express its
gratitude to the Agency for Mass Education for this collaborative assignment and look
up to more fruitful collaboration in the future.
Suggestions, Comments and constructive criticisms are welcome and will be used to
enrich the next edition of this publication.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Lagos State has the smallest landmass of all the thirty-six states of Nigeria. It has an
area of 3,577.28km2 but its territorial size is further reduced by Lagoons, rivers,
creeks and swamps which constitute about 22%(or 779.56 sq. km) of the total land
mass. Paradoxically, it has a population of 17,552,942 (according to Social Security
Welfare Exercise, 2006) and currently projected to 20,546,999 in 2011 based on
average population growth rate of 3.2%.The State remains the most populous in the
country, the capital Ikeja is situated within Lagos Metropolis which is the prime
commercial nerve centre of the country and enjoys concentration of about 55% of the
country’s industrial and business concerns.
Education is recognised worldwide as a key variable in the economic/social
development equation of any given nation. Cardinal to the policy thrust of Lagos State
Government is the provision of qualitative and sound education to the citizenry in
terms of access, utilization and satisfaction. Citizens can be educated through formal
and informal system of education. The National policy on education which was first
published in 1977 and revised in 1981 made provision for both systems. The Formal
School Structure includes the Primary, Secondary and Tertiary. However, the State
Government device a means of educating its citizens who are not privileged to pass
through formal education by establishing the AGENCY FOR MASS EDUCATION
basically responsible for informal Education in Lagos State.
Consequently, the Lagos Bureau of Statistics in collaboration with the Agency for
Mass Education embarked on Literacy Survey to ascertain the literacy level of the
State.
The general objective of the survey was to comprehensively examine the literacy
status of the citizenry, disaggregated along the age, sex, marital status, occupation and
a host of other demographic and socio-economic characteristics. However, the
specific objectives are stated hereunder:
To estimate the proportion of the inhabitants of Lagos State that are literate
To determine the age and gender composition of household members that are
literate
To determine the quantity and quality of literacy centres as well as their
geographical spread across the State
viii
To assess the contribution of private and Non-governmental Organisations
(NGO) in Mass Literacy Education.
The survey was designed to elicit relevant information on the literacy level of all
members of the selected households and the household heads were the target
respondents providing the much needed information on behalf of other members of
their respective households. The study covers the entire 20 Local Government
Areas(LGA’s).
A total sample size of 10,000 households was drawn using a two stage stratified
sampling technique that cut across the entire 20 Local Government Areas in the State.
The outcome of the 2011 Lagos State Literacy Survey includes the following:
LITERACY IN ANY LANGUAGE
The survey revealed that 90 %( 16,155,057) of the population who are ages 5 and
above are literate in any language. However, across the gender divide, 47%
(8,436.530) of the population who are literate in any language are male while
43% (7,718,527) constituted the female population that are literate in any language.
LITERACY IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE
The result obtained showed that in Lagos State, 87% of the sampled respondents are
literate in English Language (can read and write in English Language). Out of this
proportion, 45% were male while female accounted for 42% of the literate residents in
English Language in the State. Similarly, more male literate household members
were reflected across all the Local Governments in the State with the exception of
Ibeju-Lekki which recorded 46% female literate in English language as against 41%
male.
LITERACY IN OTHER LANGUAGES
The study also carried out empirical analysis of household members with a view to
determining the proportion of Lagos residents that are literate in other languages apart
from English language. The result obtained signified that 75% of the sampled
household members in the State are literate in other language (can read and write in
other language). At the Local Government Level, household members that are literate
in other languages are more prominent in Amuwo Odofin and Lagos Island Local
Government as each recorded 80% literate household members in other languages in
their respective localities. The analysis revealed that household members that are
literate in other languages are 39% male and 36% female.
ix
RECOMMENDATIONS
The following recommendations are paramount from the study
There is need for Government to provide conducive learning environment
for both teachers and students.
Need to provide more infrastructural facilities such as Computer, Science
and Home Economics Laboratories as well as equipped Standard Libraries.
Government should embark on enlightment / sensitisation campaign
through both print and electronic media to educate parents especially those
in the rural areas on the importance of education.
Free Primary and Secondary schools education in the State should be
improved upon and sustained while tertiary education should be affordable
and highly subsidized.
There should be periodic inspection of schools from time to time to ensure
those existing standards are complied with.
Need for better remunerations for teachers to further enhance their
commitments and effectiveness.
Train and retraining of teachers on modern teaching aids.
Engage more qualified teachers in schools to reduce teachers’ pupil ratio.
Create more Adult Literacy Centres in all Local Government Areas in the
State with a view of bringing education to the grass root.
CONCLUSION
The survey has brought into the limelight the need to continually assess the State
educational programmes in the area of literacy and ensure compliance with the rules
and regulations guiding such programme in accordance with the dictates of UNESCO
and National Agency for Mass Education in the State.

Chapter 1 1.1.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON LAGOS STATE 1.1.1 Lagos state was created on May 27, 1967 by virtue of ‘state creation and Transitional
provisions’ Decree No. 14, 1967 during the Military Regime headed by General Yakubu
Gowon (Retired). The boundary of the state was defined in section 9 of the schedule to
the decree but suffice to state that it shares a common boundary with Ogun State (at
Alagbado / Sango area) and Republic of Benin (at Badagry / Seme area). At inception, it
was divided into five administrative divisions of Lagos, Badagry, Epe, Ikorodu and Ikeja
comprising a total number of 19 local government councils. However, after series of
reforms, the number of local governments finally rose to 20 with effect from October 1,
1996. However, another restructuring in 2003 resulted in further delineation of the state
into 57 1.e. 20 Local Government and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs)
1.1.2 There is no doubt that Lagos State has the smallest landmass of all the thirty-six states of
Nigeria. It has an area of 3,577.28 km2 but its territorial size is further reduced by
Lagoons, rivers, creeks and swamps which constitute about 22% (or 779.56 sq.km) of
the total land mass. Paradoxically, it has a population of 17,552,942 (according to Social
Security welfare Exercise, 2006) and currently projected to 20,546, 999 in 2011 based on
average population growth rate of 3.2%. The State remains the most populous state in the
country. The capital of the state is Ikeja which is situated within Lagos metropolis and is
the prime commercial nerve centre of the country and enjoyed concentration of 55% the
Country’s industrial and business concerns. It is no wonder that the state regularly
witnesses a high migration of people from all other parts of the country as well influx of
immigrants from the neighboring countries such as Benin Republic, Togo and Ghana. The
State has now graduated to a megacity status and is currently redefining the government
focus and attention to meet with challenges associated with such status.
1.1.3 The Lagos State Budget Size has increased tremendously over the years from N77.407
billion in 2004 to N450.755 billion in 2011. Likewise, the Internally Generated Revenue
(IGR) from N50.89 billion to N212.963 billion during the same period. This could be
attributed to the State overriding policy thrust of poverty reduction and sustainable
economic development ably captured and tagged “Ten Point Agenda (TPA)” of which
2
provision of free qualitative education in terms of provision of manpower and
infrastructure, remains cardinal.
OBJECTIVES OF THE SURVEY The general objective of the survey is to comprehensively examine the literacy status of the
citizenry, disaggregated along the age, sex, marital status, occupation and host of other
demographic and socio- economic characteristics. However the specific objectives are as stated
hereunder:
To estimate the proportion of the inhabitants of Lagos State that are literate
To determine the age and gender composition of household members that are literate
To determine the quantity and quality of literacy centres as well as their geographical
spread across the State
To assess the contribution of private and Non- Governmental Organisation (NGO) in
Mass Literacy Education
1.2.0 EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN LAGOS STATE
Education is recognized world-wide as a key variable in the economic/ social development
equation of any country. It is the key to human development by which the future history of an
individual’s, communities and governments will be premised. Cardinal to the policy thrust of Lagos
State Government is the provision of qualitative and sound education to the citizenry in terms of
access, utilization and satisfaction.
Educational development of Lagos State has been on increase since inception on
27th May, 1967 to date. The numerical growth of educational institutions (Public)
which increased from 600 Schools in 1967 to over 1,340 in 1996, and now stood at
1620 schools as at 2011 comprising 1001 primary school, 300 Junior Secondary
Schools and 319 Senior Secondary Schools. In the same vein, students’ population
decline from 1,387,964 in 1996 to 1,020,648 as at 2011 comprising 417,166 Primary
School Pupils, 350,254 students in Junior Secondary Schools and Senior Secondary
School Students’ population of 253,228.
3
The enhanced educational development of Lagos State is accounted for by the following
factors:
The relatively high population of the State, whose annual growth rate is adjudged far
above the national average of 3.2% and amongst the highest in the country.
The huge population of Lagos State, of about 20,546,999, as at 2011, has put pressure on
existing educational institutions in the State.
The awareness of the importance of education in economic, political and social life of
individuals in Lagos State.
The existence of many tribes in Lagos Stat makes literacy an essential factor to business
and social relationship.
The unique position of Lagos as both the State and Federal Capital for many years.
The rapid increase in rural-urban drift, which is felt more in Lagos State.
BRIEF ON LAGOS STATE AGENCY FOR MASS EDUCATION
Background
1.3.1 Education can be defined as a pivot through which people’s progress revolves. Education
is a long and continuous process which starts from infancy to old age. Education is both a goal of
development and a means for achieving the inter- related goals of health, higher labour
productivity, more rapid GDP growth and the broader goal of social interaction. It therefore
follows that as state with very high percentage of educated citizens is likely to develop faster than
State with lower percentage of educated citizens.
1.3.2 Citizens can be educated through formal and non-formal means. The National policy on
Education which was first published in 1977 and later revised in 1981 has provisions for both
means. Not all citizens can go through the formal School Structure (Primary, Secondary and
Tertiary) in order to be educated, for various reasons. The State therefore has to find a way of
educating its citizens that are unable to have formal education. The Agency responsible for such
Non- formal Education in Lagos State is: LAGOS STATE AGENCY FOR MASS
EDUCATION.
4
1.3.3 The LAGOS STATE AGENCY FOR MASS EDUCATION was established by Edict
No. 2 of 31st January, 1991 in line with the Federal Government’s directive that all States should
establish Agencies to tackle problems associated with illiteracy in the country. The Agency is
under the State Ministry of Education. Since its establishment in 1991, the Agency has made its
presence felt in all the Local Government Areas of the State.
Scope/ Coverage
The survey is designed to elicit relevant information on the literacy level of all
members of the selected households and the household heads were the target
respondents providing the much needed information on behalf of other
members of their respective households. The study covers the entire 20 LGAs

Chapter 2
Methodology
This chapter explains the planning and implementation mechanism adopted in
the conduct of the survey. This involved systematic way of selection of the
households, survey related tools/techniques such as sample design,
questionnaire design, training of enumerators/supervisors, pre-testing of
questionnaires, fieldwork and data processing.
Sample Design
Selection of a representative fractional part of the population of interest with a
view to generalizing the outcome of such enquiry on the entire population
remains the hallmark of sampling techniques in all statistical enquiries. In this
wise, the various social and economic strata that exists in the society, as
defined by basic demographic variables are given utmost consideration in the
design of the sample. It is premised on the above criteria, that a total sample
size of 10,000 households was drawn using a two stage stratified sampling
technique that cuts across the entire 20 Local Government Areas in the State.

Distribution of Sample
The first level of stratification comprised the Local Government Areas while the
second stratification is the selected housing units. The statistical technique of
Probability Proportional to Size (PPS) was adopted to determine the sample size
per Local Government/Council Development Area while the final samples were
selected using Simple Random Sampling without Replacement. It is however,
imperative to mention that the number of households selected from each
political ward was allocated proportionally to the local government areas based
on the projected population figure of year 2011. The Stratified Multi-stage
Sampling procedure ensures that the sample eventually taken was
representative of the study population in line with the geographical spread and
the household social and economic strata. However, some institutionalized
establishments were excluded from the sample. Such institutions include
Hospitals, Schools, Prisons, Police Barracks, Military Settlements, Hostels,
Hotels, Charity Homes, etc. Such establishments were excluded from the list
and therefore did not form part of the sample hence, they were not surveyed.
Field Organization: Recruitment/Training
A total number of eighty (80) Enumerators (outsourced) and sixteen (16)
Supervisors were involved in the field exercise. Sixteen (16) field teams were
constituted for the main survey field exercise representing one (1) Supervisor to
five (5) Enumerators. Each Supervisor was a team leader and responsible for
overseeing, monitoring and where necessary, correcting the work of the
interviewers while the Enumerators conducts daily interviews with the selected
households. However, 8 out of the 14 supervisors were staff of the Lagos
Bureau of Statistics while the other six (6) supervisors were outsourced.
The training of field personnel (Enumerators and Supervisors) was conducted
from 1st - 4th September, 2011 at NISREL TRAINING CENTRE, Elephant Cement
Building, Central Business District, Alausa, Ikeja including a day pilot survey
carried out in Agege Local Government Area.
8
The pilot survey was conducted to test the quality of the questionnaire with a
view to ascertaining respondents understanding of each of the questions in the
questionnaire.
Survey Instrument
The draft questionnaire was tested during the pilot survey which took place at Agege
on 4th September, 2011. The questionnaire was finalized after the pilot survey and
numerous suggestions made were included to further tailor the questionnaire to the
State environment. To ensure concise responses from respondents, pre-coded multiple-
choice response questions were used.
Fieldwork
As a quality control measure and also to boost fieldworkers’ morale, various
scheduled and spontaneous field trips were made by senior officials of the
Lagos Bureau of Statistics (LBS) to check on the logistics, quality and progress
of work.
Data Capture and Processing
The conventional Paper questionnaire technique was adopted and respondents
coding sheet was introduced to capture relevant data. This technique enabled
the interviewer to record all the responses inside the coded sheet rather than
inside the designed questionnaire which gave room for use of a questionnaire to
more than one household. Each completed coding sheet represents a
household’s information.
Data Cleaning
All the returned questionnaires were duly edited and cleaned for errors and
inconsistency as well as ensuring their readiness for processing.
Data Entry
The Statistical Package and Services Solution (SPSS) template of the
questionnaire was generated by LBS and the staff of the LBS carried out the
data entry using SPSS templates in order to enhance the quality and reliability
of the dataset. The computer systems with SPSS already installed were used to
input the data considering the volume of questionnaires involved (10000)
9
Data Analysis
In the same vein, data analysis was carried out using SPSS software packages.
Frequency tables, Percentages, rates and ratios were calculated and charts
were generated in SPSS format and later transferred into EXCEL format for
easy manipulation and necessary amendments.
