title: Interurban flows of population and occupational skills to three cities in Nigeria.
abstract: "This article examines interurban flows of population and occupational skills to three cities in Nigeria.  The analyses are based on sample survey data collected in the cities of Benin, Ibadan, and Kano in 1973 and 1974."  The results indicate that most migrants were repeat movers, and that interurban migration predominated.  However, whereas men brought a wide range of occupational skills, most women came with traditional-type skills or as housewives.
