Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has clarified his earlier remark describing Lagos as a “no-man’s land.”

Speaking in an interview on Arise Television, Bwala explained that his comment was not intended to diminish Lagos’ identity but to highlight its cosmopolitan character and central role in Nigeria’s economy.

He said the concentration of federal projects in Lagos should not be mistaken for favoritism, describing it instead as a strategic investment in the country’s commercial capital.

“Lagos is the hub of Nigeria. Lagos is the pride of the country,” Bwala stated, stressing the state’s economic importance and its position as the heartbeat of national commerce.
