Lagos At Fifty

Lagos, the land where dreams berth at the shores of realities... The oasis of potentials and priceless opportunities, the hub of emerging economies and innovative technologies... Lagos is working and moving forward. Lagos, the land of fresh ideas and freedom; Where street urchins and vibrant youth rise to stardom... her streets never sleep, there is no room for boredom. Lagos is working and moving forward. Lagos is the model for efficient and excellent transportation, The custodian of, quality, qualitative and free education. The home of free health care delivery and effecient sanitation . Lagos is working and moving forward. Lagos is the ocean of big businesses and boundless beauty, the IBILE of creativity and cultural diversity... This is a global garden and African's model mega city. Lagos is working and moving forward. Eko Akete, the land of artistic and aquatic splendour; the green garden that garnishes Nigeria with her glamour... the habitation of hope, harmony and honour. Lagos is working and moving forward. Lagos, the home for all...both great and small; the atlantic city of monuments, mansions and malls, The microcosm of the Nigeria's terrestial ball... Lagos is working and moving forwad. It's been fifty year of excellence in commerce and industry. It's been fifty years of great delivery of dividends of democracy. It's been fifty years of quick and quality service delivery. Lagos is working and moving forward. It's been fifty years of child rights and youth empowerment it's been fifty years of tourism and sport development it's been fifty years of sweet synergy among all tiers of government. Lagos is working and moving forward. (*IBILE is the acronym for the division of Lagos. *Eko Akete is a traditional description of Lagos)
