The city of Lagos, and by extension, lovers of good development around the world, may be in for a never-had experience in December 2024 as an initiative of the Mic-Idols Concert, Lagos Lagoon Water Carnival, is set to become a reality. The initiative is aimed at giving pleasure to fun seekers, breeding new eonomic opportunities, raising awareness on how best to treat the waters, and making life better.

The project, which was unveiled on Friday, September 27, 2024, at the prestigious Watercress Hotel, Ikeja Lagos, had Mrs. Faith Ouosoro Okon of Sell Well Ltd., owners of Black Stallion energy drink, Dr. Hashim Afifa of Danest Hotel & Suites, and Squadron Leader Francis Anammah, who represented the chairman designate.

Speaking at a parley with journalists at the unveiling ceremony, Mr. Olumuyiwa Adesanya, CEO of Mic-Idols Concert, who is the initiator of the Lagos Lagoon Water Carnival project, said the event will enhance the socio-economic trade activities of Lagos State in an electrifying manner.

Adesanya further disclosed that the event has received a boost from corporate bodies and other organizations, and it is aimed at accelerating 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 will be open to interested participants with presentable appearances 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 water using barges and boats, as well as on land with water transport available at different locations.

The carnival is expected to 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 providing a peep at the world through the lenses of Lagos.

In addition, Mr. Olusola Obasa, CEO of Media Perspective, the event organizer, 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 the ‘Save Our Waters Campaign.’.

The other highpoint event at the carnival is the Best of All Time (BOAT) awards ceremony.

BOAT awards, according to the organizers, are for personalities from various fields of endeavor who have made impacts in the Blue Economy and the development of Lagos State. Notable Lagos achievers from both the public and private sectors will be honored 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 said.

Other officials took turns to speak at the gathering, raising hopes of exciting moments to be enjoyed during the carnival, which will be held annually with unique themes for each edition.
