February 04, (THEWILL) — Popular American content creator and streamer, Kai Cenat, has returned to Lagos for his second visit to Nigeria.
On Wednesday, Cenat paid a courtesy visit to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu at the Lagos House, Marina.
The visit was confirmed in a statement shared on X by Jubril Gawat, the Senior Special Assistant on New Media to the governor.
The statement read: “Governor of Lagos State, Mr @jidesanwoolu today received American Online Streamer, YouTube and Internet Personality @KaiCenat on a Courtesy Visit at the Lagos House, Marina. He shared some of his very nice experiences he has enjoyed visiting Lagos, this is his second visit to the State.”
According to the statement, Kai Cenat is in Lagos to follow up on projects aimed at supporting children and young people in the state.
“Kai Cenat is in Lagos to follow up on some projects and initiatives he plans to execute for kids and young people in Lagos State, Nigeria”, it added.
Cenat arrived earlier on Wednesday at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, where he was welcomed with music and fan excitement, sparking reactions across social media.
His return has renewed attention on his planned school project for underprivileged children.
During his first visit to Nigeria last year, the streamer pledged $5 million to build a school originally planned for Makoko. Due to challenges with land and approvals, the project was later moved to Yaba, with Cenat stating that children from Makoko will still benefit from free education.
The streamer has also revealed that over $1 million has already been raised for the project and that the school will be developed in phases to ensure long-term success.
Kai Cenat’s visit comes shortly after fellow American streamer, IShowSpeed, visited Nigeria. The back-to-back visits have drawn attention to Nigeria’s growing presence in global digital and entertainment culture.
