The Lagos State Kick Against Drug and Substance Abuse initiative, LASKADA, has unveiled social media personality, Ayomiposi Oluwadahunsi, popularly known as Mandy Kiss, as one of its brand ambassadors.
The appointment was confirmed during a LASKADA event on Tuesday, where the state’s Commissioner for Youth and Social Development, Mobolaji Ogunlende, officially conferred the role on her.
In a viral video shared by an X user, @dammiedammie35, Ogunlende explained that the decision to engage Mandy Kiss was driven by her wide reach and influence among young people.
“We’re here with Mandy Kiss, and she has agreed to become one of our LASKADA ambassadors. Drug abuse is a pandemic affecting our streets, our society, and our communities. The government cannot fight it alone. We must collaborate with people who can reach the masses, and Mandy Kiss, with over 400,000 followers, fits that role,” he said.
He added: “With the powers conferred on me, I hereby appoint her as one of our brand ambassadors. So, say no to drugs. Say what? Say no to drugs.”
The development comes just days after Mandy Kiss sparked controversy on social media over her recent “marathon sex” remarks, which drew widespread criticism.
