Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has promised the business community of greater support in 2024.
Speaking at the Sol Beach Oniru, one of the venues of the 72-hour “Greater Lagos Fiesta” and countdown to the New Year, 2024, the governor said that it is the reason the non-stop entertainment that included the 2024 countdown was made possible.
The governor added that he was glad that the event was going on simultaneously in six locations across Lagos. He listed the six venues as: the Sol Beach, Oniru, Agege, Epe, Ikorodu, Badagry and Ajegunle.
He further said that the event was an annual tradition to celebrate music, entertainment, and the vibrant spirit of Lagos, stressing that it was about supporting and appreciating the residents, culture, tourism and youth development.
The governor, who was flanked by his Deputy, Dr Kadri Hamzat, and other state executive council members, observed that the countdown to a new year was not peculiar to Lagos as there was always a countdown in every city of the world.
“We are happy because there is peace in Lagos. I want to thank all of you, this is another freshness and we hope to make it bigger next year. 2024 will be a glorious, better year for me and all of us, reaching our set career growth among other positives,” he added.
Before and after the governor’s speech, comedians and music artistes entertained the residents who had come to participate in the non stop entertainment as well as joined in the countdown to the New Year.
