Finally, policy thrust of the government should focus on integrated national development and
employment generation in both the rural and urban areas of the country to stem the tide of lopsided urbanbiased
migration to the few developed cities in Nigeria. For instance, this study showed that the migrants
among the street traders are a whopping 61%; among which 58% are involved in injury and another 74%
have experienced harassment in the course of street trading in the study locations. A development that is
focused on integrated national development rather than urban-biased type will reduce urban congestion
and hence a reduction in the level of occupational hazards in the informal street trading activities
