The Lagos State Government (LASG) on Friday said that this year’s celebration of Christmas would be decentralised and celebrated in all the local government councils.
The state’s Commissioner for Home Affairs, Dr AbdulLateef Abdulhakeem disclosed this to newsmen shortly after receiving an award from the Christian Conscience Group on behalf of Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode as the best performing governor on Christian Pilgrimage.
He said that the decentralisation of the celebration would be in keeping with the all inclusive governance mantra of the Ambode administration.
“The governor has decided to ensure that the Christmas celebration is fully decentralised to the grassroots. “This year, we are going to have the celebration in all the local government councils to ensure that all residents, churches come out to celebrate,” Abdulhakeem said.
“I believe this is to ensure that we continue to rise above the common standard of excellence. “The governor believes that enhancing the welfare and safe guarding the security of Lagosians is a duty that must be discharged whether they are within or outside the state.’
Earlier, the Chairman of the group, Chief Enoch Ajiboso said that the government had provided enabling environments for ensuring efficient service delivery and organisation of pilgrimages
