. In

this

essay, I will discuss the genesis which is how a large number of

people

migrate in search of livelihood opportunities and better education and I will

also

go

further

to give a solution by the administration providing new infrastructures in the rural provinces. On one hand, overpopulation is a serious problem the world needs to deal with. The major problem of congested municipalities is

people

from the villages come to the town in search of greener pastures. Some individuals migrate to the metropolis to look for a job so they can be able to fend for themselves and their families, thereby making the town congested. Another problem is most parents who live in rural areas want a better education for their children thereby sending the offspring to the city to school. By doing so, the metropolis is crowded with

people

.

For instance

, in 2008, a census was carried out in Nigeria and it was reported that 85% of folk were more populated than

people

who live in rural areas.

On the other hand

, the provision of new facilities should be implemented by the government in the villages to reduce the number of

people

who move to the urban area. The parliaments should have lots of infrastructures and facilities for the job seekers so they don't need to move to the town to explore, everything should be provided at their beck and call.

Nevertheless

, the Government should be able to build schools for the children. In conclusion, overcrowding can be reduced in the city if the government provides amenities and several infrastructures to those who live in the village, thereby making them productive and educated.
