Four of the worst cities in the world for air pollution are in Nigeria, according to data released by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Onitsha in Anambra state -has been labeled the world's most polluted city for air quality, when measuring small particulate matter concentration (PM10).
A booming port city in Onitsha recorded 30 times more than the WHO's recommended levels of PM10.
The other three cities named and shamed in the WHO report for high PM10 levels are the transport hub of Kaduna, in the north, which came fifth, followed by the cities of Aba -- in sixth place -- and Umuahia, in 16th position, which are both trade centers in southern Nigeria.
