Harping on the sustainability of the initiative’s vision, the founder of Light Up Lagos, Dele Doherty, said, “Light Up Lagos is more than just an event; it is a movement that celebrates African culture’s resilience, creativity, and vibrancy. Our goal is to create a New Year’s Eve experience that entertains and unites people from all walks of life, and we’re thrilled to be back for our third year.”

In his comments, Richard Vaughn, the chief executive officer of Rova Media and the event’s founding partner added, “Organizing an event of this scale and significance in Lagos is no small feat, but viewing how far we have come is incredibly rewarding. Each year, we grow stronger, and I am proud of what we have accomplished.”

The organisers maintained that they are inspired by celebrations in cities like Dubai and New York, saying Light Up Lagos combines spectacular fireworks, musical performances, and cultural showcases to create a unique event that captures the spirit of Lagos.
