<\/a><\/p>\nLagos is the commercial capital of Nigeria and the most cosmopolitan State in the country where peoples of every tribe, race and creed reside peacefully. Our State has an excellent record of religious tolerance.<\/p>\n
\n
Lagos is a land of opportunities, offering all residents the chance to succeed in their vocations and endeavours. Lagos provides jobs to more people than any other State in Sub Saharan Africa. Lagos is that place where you have a chance to make it if you work hard.<\/p>\n
With all these in mind, it is imperative that we celebrate Lagos at 50. In celebrating Lagos, we must showcase our cultural heritage. We must celebrate the language, arts, sights and sounds of Lagos. Celebrating Lagos is to celebrate Nigerian Unity and Progress because Lagos provides the cohesion that keeps Nigeria together.<\/p>\n
Indeed, Lagos State has justified its creation. Apart from being the pacesetter and first among equals in the comity of States in the Nigerian Federation, Lagos State also occupies a noticeable position in global affairs especially as the fastest growing mega city in the world.<\/p>\n The opportunity of this golden jubilee is one we must use not only to celebrate our past achievements, but also to showcase to the world our immense potentials for future growth and development.<\/p>\n A celebration of such great significance needs proper and adequate planning. Hence the inauguration of this Committee comprising respected men and women whom I believe have a perfect understanding of the expectations of Lagosians, Nigerians and indeed the entire world. With this committee, I am rest assured that Lagos will be excellently celebrated and the world will see Lagos in its full splendour.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
