The stakeholders told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that if they were involved in future planning, the carnival would be more colourful and be of international standard
NAN reports that the 2017 edition of the Lagos Street Carnival was held on Sunday, Dec. 3, at Oba Akran Avenue, Ikeja, Lagos State.
Mr Mojeed Balogun, the Chairman, Ikeja Local Government Area (LGA) said that he was honoured that the carnival was brought to Ikeja axis; as this created employment for petty traders.
Balogun, however, said that if the area councils were directly involved in the planning process, he was sure that the residents of the axis would have displayed more of its cultural heritage at the carnival.
“I applaud the LASG for hosting such a fantastic and colourful event but I think there is need for improvement.
