Which region of West Africa supports more population and why?

Answer: In West Africa the areas that support the population are the Niger-Nigeria border region, central Burkina Faso, and southwestern Chad. These regions have high population densities. This is because the lands there are fertile, and the climate is good for the crops.

In the arable regions, where soils are fertile and the climate is favorable for crop cultivation, higher population densities are found. Thus, the Peanut Basin of western Senegal, the Niger-Nigeria border region, central Burkina Faso, and southwestern Chad stand out by their relatively high rural population densities. Also people want to leave near the Niger river and near the rain forest for natural resources.
