“Detty December just got louder, prouder, and more cultural. Lagos is stepping out in full colour as we unveil Lagos Culture Week—a celebration of our roots, rhythms, flavours, fashion, art, and limitless creative spirit,” Aregbe said.

He added, “This is where tradition meets the now. Lagos shows the world that culture isn’t just preserved—it is lived, remixed, and celebrated with pride.

Lagos is no longer just about music and films; the city is a hub for culture, arts, food, fashion, and more.”
