The extent and impact of environmental-ableism, environmental injustice, educational dis-inclusivity and services exclusion of people with disability: a case study of higher education students with disability in Enugu state, Nigeria

Abstract

Transport studies on Nigeria have reported a decline of accessibility from the capital city to 
the peripheries of the state, accessibility of major centres to the bus transport services, as well 
as accessibility and occurrence of public facilities. This study sought to find out areas that 
have below or above average level of occurrence of facilities relative to the level of 
accessibility in part of a megacity, Lagos Island, Nigeria. Using both simple regression 
analysis and Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, it was found that no strong 
relationship between road distance accessibility and occurrence of facilities could be 
established (i.e. r = -0.14). Based on the findings, recommendations that would enhance 
equitable transport development in Lagos Island were proffered.
