The 2025 Greater Lagos Countdown concert was a night to remember, with Wizkid, Olamide, and Tiwa Savage delivering electrifying performances.

The event, held at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), was part of an annual celebration across five IBILE divisions of Lagos — including locations in Ikorodu, Badagry, Agege, and Epe.

Wizkid marked his entry to the stage with ‘Soco’, one of his hit songs, while engaging the fans who cheered him along.

He also performed ‘Bad To Me’ with accompanying dance moves. Tiwa Savage performed ‘Who’s Your Guy’ to the energetic crowd, while Olamide took them back in memory lane with his hit song ‘Durosoke’.

Other notable performers at the concert included Adekunle Gold, Seyi Vibez, 9ice, BNXN, and Adewale Ayuba, the fuji maestro.

The concert came to an abrupt end when Burna Boy walked off the stage after an overzealous fan attempted to grab him.

Toke Benson-Awoyinka, the commissioner for tourism, arts, and culture, emphasized the significance of the event in unifying Lagosians and celebrating the state’s cultural diversity.

“This end-of-year celebration is more than an event; it is a tribute to the dynamic spirit of Lagos and its people. With music, dance, food, and a breathtaking fireworks display, we are dedicated to creating an unforgettable experience for everyone,” she said.
