Abstract
The growing challenges of urban centers in developing countries have
continued to attract the attention of development experts. The
challenges identified are basically inadequacies of infrastructure like
electricity supply, housing, healthcare and educational facilities. This
situation has consequently continued to impact on the quality of life of
urban dwellers. Infrastructure serves as social and economic indicators
for measuring quality of life in the study area. Four hundred (400)
respondents were randomly selected for the purpose of dated collection.
The data gathered were subjected to empirical verification using chisquare
analysis. It was found that the quality of life in Warri metropolis
is average. The provision of adequate infrastructure is therefore
recommended for improving the quality of life of the people.
