President Bola Tinubu joined thousands of Lagos residents and cultural enthusiasts at the grand finale of the 2025 Eyo Festival, marking the return of the iconic cultural parade after an eight-year hiatus.
The colourful event, held at Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, featured the President dressed in the traditional white robe, damask sash and distinctive hat associated with Eyo masqueraders.
Disclosing this in a statement on Saturday, presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, said Tinubu maintained that the festival indicates that Nigeria’s diverse culture and traditions hold immense tourism potential and should be harnessed as valuable tools for destination promotion.
“It is a reminder that our culture and traditions hold great tourism potential. Indeed, our cultural assets can serve as valuable resources for destination promotion,” the President was quoted as saying.
