The Lagos State Government (LASG) has called on residents to use the end-of-year period to reflect on the gains of the outgoing year, express gratitude for collective progress recorded across the State, and prayerfully prepare for the year ahead, following the cancellation of this year’s Greater Lagos Countdown.
This was disclosed in a press statement issued by the Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs. Toke Benson-Awoyinka, who noted that the close of the year presents a valuable opportunity for Lagosians to pause, take stock of personal and communal achievements, and renew their commitment to peace, unity, and shared prosperity.
According to the Commissioner, as 2025 draws to a close, residents are encouraged to strengthen family ties, promote harmony within their communities, and uphold the values of responsibility, compassion, and resilience that continue to define Lagos State.
Mrs. Benson-Awoyinka, on behalf of the Lagos State Government, expressed sincere appreciation to residents, partners, creatives, and stakeholders who have supported the Greater Lagos Countdown over the years, helping to establish it as a strong symbol of cultural celebration, togetherness, and hope.
While the countdown event will not hold this year, the Commissioner reaffirmed that the spirit of the season remains one of gratitude, reflection, and optimism, as Lagos looks forward to a new year filled with promise and opportunity.
She concluded by wishing all residents a peaceful end to the year and a prosperous, healthy, and fulfilling New Year.
