Ciara Wilson, the American singer, says Lagos has undergone a remarkable transformation since her previous visits to Nigeria.
Ciara arrived in the country on Thursday for the 2025 Lagos Fashion Week, scheduled to take place from October 29 to November 3 at the Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island.
The 40-year-old music star is also in the city as part of her birthday celebrations this weekend.
Speaking in a video circulating on social media, Ciara expressed excitement about being back in Lagos.
The singer said Lagos used to have “dirty roads” but that is no longer the case, adding that the city “now looks cleaner”.
“I’m so happy to be here, I’m really excited. It’s not my first time in Lagos, I’ve been here a few times so I know about Lagos,” she said.
“I love Lagos. But you know what? Lagos, from what I’ve seen, it’s like an evolution of Lagos. So when I used to land, I would see all the dirty roads, now its pavement.”
