LAGOS State lawmakers have demanded that Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo apologise for allegedly describing the commercial capital as an “urban jungle” unfit for human habitation. Obasanjo allegedly told a UN-sponspored forum on city conditions that “Lagos qualifies as an urban jungle which should not be inhabited by any sane person.” Legislators complained that Obasanjo’s failure to contribute to the development of the state when he was minister of works and housing in 1975 had contributed to Lagos’s problems. – AFP
