"What this cash-enabled December has shown is a massive growth in the creative economic sector in Lagos State.
The entire state is agog, hotels are fully booked from Victoria Island to Ikeja, Epe and Badagry. There is a renewed sense of fun among the citizens and visitors.
The volume of entertainment content being created for the pleasure of the citizens and media is unprecedented right from the beginning of the month.
“COPA Lagos Beach Soccer Tournament at Eko Atlantic was a combination of football and musical performances.
The Lagos Street Carnival was a demonstrable evidence of the government’s assurance that security and traffic management can now be taken for granted in the state when big shows happen.
New cinemas are being launched and all are recording huge box office takings. Four of Africa’s biggest musicians - Olamide, Falz, Wizkid and Davido - have had the biggest concert productions in Africa in the past one week.
All in Lagos...the 5-centre One Lagos Fiesta is featuring more than 700 artistes...This Government has found a nexus between art and prosperity."
Lagos State Commissioner for Information & Strategy, Steve Ayorinde, on Lagos Economy
