The Lagos State Government has cancelled this year’s Greater Lagos Fiesta, scheduled to be held on New Year eve.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Gboyega Akosile, on Tuesday, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, while approving the cancellation, directed that, in place of the Greater Lagos Fiesta (Countdown 2026), Lagosians should spend quality time in personal prayers for the nation, the state and the people of the state.
He also urged the people to pray for ‘our continued prosperity, leadership, peace, productivity and our continued general wellbeing’.
The governor wished all Lagosians a happy and prosperous year 2026, saying that the coming year shows great promise for the state and Nigeria. He, therefore, enjoined residents to continue to live in peace and harmony.
‘On behalf of my family, I wish every resident of our dear state a happy and prosperous new year.
‘I want to assure you all that the year 2026 will be a better year for us in the state, as our administration is determined to work twice as hard to deliver the goods for the residents of the state’, Sanwo-Olu said.
