With music and dance and lots of fireworks, the 2018 edition of One Lagos Fiesta came to a grand finale on New Year’s Eve, with Lagos governor Akinwunmi Ambode joining nearly one hundred thousand people to ring in the new year at the Eko Atlantic City centre.

More than twenty top Nigerian musicians, including Tiwa Savage, Burna Boy, Sound Sultan, Olamide and Timaya performed on the night to the delight of the ecstatic crowd. More people watched the event online and on TV as other centres in Agege, Badagry, Epe and Ikorodu parties into the early hours of the new year in their respective centres.

Part of the major highlights of the night was when Governor Ambode counted down the old year and flagged up the new one with breathtaking fireworks that lit up the Lagos skyline. The winners of Lagos Grows Talent were also selected on the night while a winner for the raffle draw who won a brand new car was chosen as well.
