2.1. Study Setting

This study was carried out in the Ojo local government area of Lagos State, Nigeria. Ojo is one of the 20 local government areas in Lagos State, with a population of 507,693 [11]. The LGA has a total land mass of 180 sq. km, about 30% of which constitutes the riverine area [11]. Like other parts of the Lagos metropolis, it is made up of a complex mix of people from various parts of Nigeria. The majority of the residents are civil servants or artisans, including sawmillers, craftsmen in woodwork, and welders. The Ojo local government area (LGA) was selected for the study due to the heterogeneity of its residents and its geographical location.
