President Bola Tinubu has described the Eyo Festival of Lagos State as a powerful expression of Nigeria’s rich culture and identity.

Tinubu said on Saturday that the festival underscored the nation’s heritage and celebrated the lives and legacies of distinguished Lagosians whose contributions helped to shape the state and the entirety of Nigeria.

The festival was held at the Tafa Balewa Square on Lagos Island.
