Mr. Olumuyiwa Adesanya, CEO of the company, the special event is billed to hold in December 2024, andcit is expected to enhance the socio-economic trade activities of Lagos State in an electrifying manner.
Speaking to journalists at a parley, he disclosed that the event which has received a boost from corporate bodies and other organizations, aims to boost trade and commerce within the water transport industry and beyond while it promises to be a turning point with lots of fun and value for money.
For attendance, tickets will be available for sale and the carnival is open to interested participants with presentable appearance and products, he said.
Adesanya added that, the Lagos Lagoon Water Carnival is an extraordinary event that celebrates love, creativity, and community spirit, featuring “elemental displays of the Lagos water divisions with content performances that seek to bring unity that Lagos represents to life through the confluence of these great water bodies”.
The fun-filled party would be held on both water using barges and boats, and land.
The carnival will also feature music performances and interactive activities designed to engage attendees of all ages. The carnival aims not only to entertain but also to foster connections among participants, evoking the African spirit and avail a peep at the world through the lenses of Lagos.
In addition, Mr. Olusola Obasa, CEO of Media Perspective, the event organizer of Lagos Lagoon Water Carnival, listed two main highlights of the grand event targeted to fully harness and celebrate the richness and diversity that Lagos offers. They include Queen Lagos, a pageantry that parades feminine qualities and attributes that embody the uniqueness of Lagos.
“The Queen Lagos beauty pageant will be distinct,’ Obasa noted, adding that, “it is a paradigm shift to express the beauty of Lagos from core Lagos’ qualities, beyond facial beauty”.
The pageant winner will be the face of ‘Save Our Waters Campaign’.
The other highpoint event at the carnival is the Best Of All Time (BOAT) awards ceremony. BOAT awards, a classic event, according to the organizers, is for personalities from various fields of endeavor who have made impacts in the Blue economy and development of Lagos State. “Notable Lagos achievers from both public and private sectors will be honoured with different BOAT award categories. Also, companies and industry giants who have for years been playing a role in Lagos’ development, will be awarded, Obasa declared.
Other top officials of the organizing team who took turns to speak at the gathering, raised hopes of exciting moments to be enjoyed during the carnival, which will be held annually with unique themes for each edition.
