The Lagos State Government has criticized a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Ushie Uguamaye, for commenting that "Lagos is smelling". Kunle Adesina, the Director of Public Affairs for the Lagos State Ministry of Environment and Water Resources, pointed out the irony that despite her criticism, Uguamaye enjoys Lagos' nightlife, as seen on her TikTok videos.
Adesina argued that people like Uguamaye, who move to Lagos in large numbers, put pressure on the state's infrastructure and undermine the government's efforts to maintain the city. He emphasized that these individuals often contribute to the problems they criticize, such as street trading and pollution.
The exchange highlights the ongoing debate about Lagos' environmental challenges and the role of migrants in contributing to these issues. While some defend the city and its government, others argue that criticism can be a valuable tool for driving positive change.
