The decision was disclosed in a statement issued by the Governor’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Gboyega Akosile, who said Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu approved the cancellation.
According to the statement, the Governor directed that, in place of the Greater Lagos Fiesta (Countdown 2026), Lagosians should spend quality time in personal prayers for the nation, Lagos State, and its people.
Governor Sanwo-Olu urged residents to pray for the State’s continued prosperity, effective leadership, peace, productivity, and general wellbeing.

He further assured residents of his administration’s commitment to working harder to deliver improved governance and services across the State.
“On behalf of my family, I wish every resident of our dear State a happy and prosperous New Year.
I want to assure you that 2026 will be a better year for us, as our administration is determined to work twice as hard to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people,” the Governor said.
He also enjoined residents to continue to live in peace and harmony.
