The Lagos State Government has announced the cancellation of the 2025 Greater Lagos Fiesta, which was originally scheduled for December 31, 2025.
In a statement released on Tuesday by the Governor’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Gboyega Akosile, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu approved the cancellation and directed that, instead of the traditional Greater Lagos Fiesta (Countdown 2026), residents of Lagos should dedicate time to personal prayers for the nation, the state, and the people of Lagos.
The Governor encouraged citizens to pray for the “continued prosperity, leadership, peace, productivity, and overall wellbeing” of Lagos and its people.
Wishing all Lagosians a happy and prosperous 2026, Governor Sanwo-Olu expressed optimism about the coming year, describing it as full of promise for both the State and Nigeria. He urged residents to maintain peace and harmony in their communities.
“On behalf of my family, I wish every resident of our dear State a happy and prosperous new year. I assure you that 2026 will be a better year for us in Lagos, as our administration is determined to work twice as hard to deliver the good for our residents,” Governor Sanwo-Olu stated.
