Which of the following least influences population density in Nigeria?

  1. Mining ✓
  2. Fertile agricultural land
  3. Thick forest vegetation
  4. Tsetsefly infestation
Explanation

Mining areas attract workers, but most mines are in remote locations. Once mining ends, people often leave.

Fertile farmland attracts permanent settlers. Tsetse flies drive people away from infected areas. Thick forests are hard to clear for living.

Mining creates temporary population booms, not lasting settlement patterns.
