Lagos state government, south-west Nigeria will shut down Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria
Island, December 3-4 for 500,000 fun lovers.
Steve Ayorinde, the state information & strategy commissioner dropped this
hint Thursday during a press conference with journalists at Alausa in Ikeja.
According to him, the bottom-line is for fun lovers, who may also
be local and foreign investors to come together, have fun and enjoy themselves
, while mixing with the estimated one million participants in the first ever
The Lagos Street Party.
Hosted by White Star in conjunction with the state
government, Ayorinde said that party is meant to kick-start series of
festivities lined up for the yuletide season.
His words: “Not less than 500,000 people are expected at the
event daily which will be holding from 12 mid-day to 12 midnight between
December 3 and 4, 2016. Adequate security will be provided during the party.”
“The street party will witness local and foreign visitors. It is
not to kill other carnivals like One Lagos Fiesta but to complement them. The
street party is in line with the initiative of Akinwunmi Ambode-led
administration to use entertainment in driving the state economy.
Akin
Akinyelure, representing White Star said the street party will feature live
music, diverse cuisine and creative indigenous games in a beautiful
environment.
His words: “The first day of the party will feature colourful
cultural parades, displays, acrobatic acts and live performances by several
Nigerian musicians, including Olamide, Phyno, MI and The Police band.”
