By Hannah Johnson

The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Sunday celebrated the city’s vibrant food culture and youthful energy as he attended the Lagos Food Festival, where he also showcased his cooking skills.

The governor shared highlights from the event on his X handle, stating that he enjoyed interacting with residents, soaking in the atmosphere and experiencing the variety of dishes on display.

According to Sanwo-Olu, Lagos continues to distinguish itself through its rich flavours, creativity and unique energy.

He wrote, “Today, I was at the Lagos Food Festival and had a great time. I loved meeting people, soaking in the atmosphere, and seeing the incredible range of food on display. When it comes to flavour, Lagos really knows how to show up.

“I cooked. Literally. I showed off a bit of my cooking skills, and the food tasted fantastic. There was good music, plenty of laughter, and a lot of fun all around.

“When it comes to showing off the energy of Lagos, the food, the music, the vibe, as the young people would say, involve me. This city has a spirit you cannot fake, and events like this show exactly why Lagos is Lagos.”

The 2025 edition of the Lagos Food Festival, themed ‘Taste Beyond Borders’, was held at Muri Okunola Park, Victoria Island.

Residents were treated to live music and a wide range of local and international delicacies during the event.

The festival was attended by members of the Lagos State Executive Council and House of Assembly, current and former public office holders, political and traditional rulers, celebrity chefs, youths, food vendors and students from tertiary institutions across the state.

Several participants also showcased their culinary skills during the event and won prizes.
