This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the lives, challenges, and aspirations of street children across different regions of Nigeria. Drawing on insights from a range of disciplines and research methods, including extensive fieldwork and interviews as well as quantitative analysis, the book assesses the socio-economic, cultural, and structural factors that contribute to the prevalence of street children in Nigerian cities. The book considers themes such as categorization, socio-economic and health challenges, substance abuse, public perceptions, and the roles of government and community interventions. It assesses the effectiveness of current policies and interventions, before proposing innovative solutions for rehabilitating and reintegrating street children into society. This book's comprehensive, yet localized, account of Nigeria's street children across different regions and urban contexts will be of interest to researchers across the fields of sociology, urban studies, public health, social work, development, and policy studies, as well as practitioners and policy-makers looking for actionable recommendations.
David V. Ogunkan is Associate Professor of Urban Social Planning, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Bells University of Technology, Ota, Nigeria.
