Some of the activities include; Special Jumat Prayer and Church Service on Friday 27th and Sunday 29th September, 2019 respectively, while the main event will climax with an Exhibition of Art/Crafts and a parade #LASG #ForAGreaterLagos
The Commissioner maintained that the peace, security and stability currently experienced in Lagos is due to the fact that the State is detribalised and accommodates people from different places #LASG #ForAGreaterLagos
