The Lagos State Government has announced the cancellation of the 2025 Greater Lagos Fiesta earlier scheduled for December 31.

The decision was made by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, according to a statement released on Tuesday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Gboyega Akosile.

Instead of the usual end of year celebration popularly known as the Greater Lagos Fiesta or Countdown 2026, the governor encouraged residents to dedicate the period to personal prayers for the nation, Lagos State, and its people.

Governor Sanwo-Olu called on Lagosians to pray for continued peace, prosperity, strong leadership, productivity and the overall wellbeing of the state and its citizens.

While wishing residents a happy and prosperous new year, the governor expressed optimism about 2026, describing it as a year filled with hope and new opportunities for Lagos and Nigeria at large.

He also urged residents to continue to live in peace and harmony with one another.

“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 even harder to deliver good governance and improved living conditions for our people,” the governor said.
