The countries bordering the Golf of Guinea are the Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Guinea Equatorial, Gabon and Sao-Tome-et-Principe (which is actually an Island in the Golf of Guinea). These countries together make up about one third of the population of Sub-Saharan-Africa. In the coastal zones the population has considerably increased. Abidjan, the capital of the Ivory Coast, is estimated to have a population of 2.5 million. With a yearly growth rate of 5% it will augment to 8 million in 2025. In Nigeria, Lagos, which is situated in the coastal zone, has more than 9 million inhabitants. In Cameroon, Duala, which is situated in the estuary Wouri, has more than 1.4 million inhabitants. In Ghana, Accra and its metroplitan zone has approximately 1.6 millon inhabitants, according to demographic estimations the population will rise to 4 million in 2020.
