While wishing Lagosians a happy and prosperous New Year, Sanwo-Olu said 2026 holds great promise for both Lagos State and Nigeria.
He encouraged residents to continue to live together in peace and harmony as the new year approaches.
“On behalf of my family, I wish every resident of our dear State a happy and prosperous new year,” the governor said.
“I want to assure you all that the year 2026 will be a better year for us in the State, as our administration is determined to work twice as hard to deliver the good for the residents of the state.”
