Lagos countdown is about instituting an enduring crossover tradition, commerce,
employment generation, leisure, entertainment and tourism. ‘’What LASAA is
doing on behalf of the state government is leveraging the proposition of Lagos
as a premium destination for business and leisure,” Noah said.
The
2013 event promises to be more exciting, with the parade of over top 40

the Lagos countdown had a 45 minute display of fireworks, the most spectacular
ever seen in Nigeria. The 2012 Lagos Countdown was hosted by Ik Osakioduwa,
also known as IK with co-hosts Ariyike Akinbobola and Quest.

Lagos Countdown provides branding opportunities for sponsor companies. It is
expected that the following companies will sponsor this year’s event: Nigerian
Breweries, GT Bank, Dangote, Avenue suites.
