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. |
