 All is now set for the year 2022, Greater Lagos Fiesta with not less than 10,000 entertainment enthusiasts expected to participate in the event. Special advice to Governor Son-Wong Liu on tourism, arts and culture of family Martins who stated this during a press conference and allows us to say the Fiesta is built to hold between December 29 and January 1, 2023. He also disclosed that as a way of ensuring that the annual event has legal backing, the state government is considering sponsoring a bill at the State House of Assembly. Greater Lagos Fiesta, which had passed through different stages and nomenclature since its inception some years ago, usually serves as the usual end of the year entertainment event that most legosians, Nigerians and the entire world look up to in a very anxious manner. The first Lagos Countdown was held in 2012 as an attempt to drive up tourism and create an event similar to New York's event in New York, Sydney and other major cities. The ministry had since then maintained this focus of deliberately positioning Lagos state to favorably compete with developed cities of the world in terms of their tourism and entertainment events. The event, according to the special advisers, says the Fiesta would take place in the five divisions of the state, which include Ikorodu, Badagri-Ekbe, Aegegi and Lagos Island. Martins noted that the upcoming event would not only have impacts on young and talented artists, but at the same time improve their economy of the state through MSME's booming activities. In all, the experience for these three days will not be different from the annual undiluted entertainment content which the Lagosians usually enjoy during this end of the year entertainment event. Let me also inform you that unlike before, when there was no definite structure in place to gather statistics of attendees for an event here in Lagos state, the Ministry of Tourism Arts and Culture can now collect statistics from events organized by the state government and from individuals or corporate event organizers under the Q4 Lagos initiative. The concept of Q4 Lagos launched in September this year is aimed at encouraging the culture of data collation on all entertainment and tourism activities happening in Lagos state, purporting for the purpose of planning and projecting to the world the traffic and visitors which Lagos attracts for its tourism and entertainment events. The Greater Lagos Fiesta began in 2012 to showcase the rich cultural heritage of Lagos which attracted tourists and entertainers across Lagos and Nigeria as a whole.
