The Lagos State Government has announced the cancellation of the 2025 Greater Lagos Fiesta, scheduled for December 31, 2025.
The announcement was made in a statement issued on Tuesday by the Governor’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Gboyega Akosile.
According to the statement, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu approved the cancellation and directed that, instead of the annual Greater Lagos Fiesta (Countdown 2026), residents should devote the period to personal prayers for the nation, Lagos State, and its people.
The governor urged Lagosians to pray for the state’s continued prosperity, effective leadership, peace, productivity, and overall well-being.
Sanwo-Olu also wished residents a happy and prosperous New Year, expressing optimism that 2026 holds great promise for both Lagos State and Nigeria. He encouraged citizens to continue living in peace and harmony.
“On behalf of my family, I wish every resident of our dear state a happy and prosperous New Year,” the governor said.
“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 dividends of democracy to the people of Lagos.”
