The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has described Lagos State as a “no-man’s land” and the economic pride of Nigeria.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Daybreak programme on Wednesday, Bwala defended the concentration of federal projects in Lagos, saying it should not be interpreted as favouritism but strategic investment in the nation’s commercial hub.
According to him, Lagos plays a central role in driving Nigeria’s economy, making it imperative for the federal government to prioritize infrastructure and development projects in the state.
He said: “London has more investment than the entire states in England put together. New York has more infrastructure and investment than the rest of the United States, including California. Paris has more investment.
“So in every country, wherever you find the commercial nerve of that country, you are likely to see the need to put infrastructure in place in order to boost the economy. Whatever Lagos benefits, the country benefits.
“So the idea that you put more in Lagos than in other states or the federation should be put into a proper context. Lagos is a no-man’s land. Lagos is the hub of Nigeria. Lagos is the pride of the country.”
