Lagos To Celebrate Yoruba Week Annually In September by wwwihy(op): 9:56pm On Apr 29, 2024

The Lagos State Government has announced plans to dedicate the last week of September every year as “Yoruba Week” to celebrate the Yoruba culture.

In a press statement on Monday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Eromosele Ebhomele, the move is to preserve and promote the rich Yoruba cultural heritage.

The decision was conveyed to the Lagos State House of Assembly through a letter from the executive arm, following a resolution passed by the lawmakers on September 19, 2023, calling for the activation of Yoruba cultural heritage and the assignment of a special day as Yoruba Day.

The letter, dated April 8, 2024, and signed by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, stated, “Sequel to the resolution of the House at its plenary of Tuesday, 19th September, 2023, on the activation of Yoruba cultural heritage and a special day to be assigned as Yoruba day, I have the directive to officially convey Mr. Governor’s approval for the last week of September as Yoruba Week.”

Nice one.
And there should be a customized 'asoebi' which must be worn by everyone residing in Lagos be you Igbo or Hausa most especially traders across the state.
Failure to comply should attract stiff penalties.
This will be a constant reminder that Lagos is Yoruba land.

This is a laudable way to further promote the Yoruba cultural brand that's already a global brand beyond the boundaries of a multiethnic society like Nigeria.

This week will further attract our kith and kin in Yoruba communities domiciled in the diaspora , Ghana, Togo, Benin, Caribbean, North and South American countries to invest in Nigeria.

Good. Most SW states already declared last week in every September for Yoruba day.

Even in 2023, same thing happened. Nice that Lagos is going to activate it officially this year. Ogun state should follow asap too.
