Lagos set for Asa festival 2018

Organisers have described this year’s edition of annual Asa Festival tagged Asa-Ere Osupa 2018, as one that will project the dynamic culture and hospitality of the people of Lagos State in general and Ikorodu division in particular, and linger in the memory of residents and visitors, for a long time to come. The event is one of the Lagos State government approved annual cultural events.
Speaking at a press conference to update the public about the event scheduled to take place on Saturdaay December 8, at the Ikorodu Town hall in Ikorodu, the chairman of the publicity       subcommittee for the festival, Comrade Olalekan Murisiku, stated that the event, which was first held last year, has been rebranded and repackaged to further project the uniqueness of the Asa masquerade to the world.
He described the event as part of the commitment of the State Government to use entertainment as a springboard to drive development and market the state’s potentials to domestic and foreign investors who will contribute meaningfully towards making Lagos a smart city. He said the Majority Leader of the Lagos state House of Assembly, Hon. S.O.B Agunbiade, who initiated the festival, is still very much committed to making it a world class annual event.
According to him, “Besides entertainment and fun-making, the carnival will offer upcoming artists and tradesmen opportunities to exhibit their skills and market their products which fit into the agenda of the organizers. The Ikorodu Rennaisance Project (IREP) as well as Hon. S.O.B Agunbiade, who initiated the festival, are still unrelenting in their determination to sell Asa to the world as a tourists attraction.”
