Speaking at the event, Akinsola said "Under project T.H.E.S.E, we are resolved to grow the Lagos economy and empower the youth through several alternative means, which include the tactical promotion of tourism, entertainment and sports."

(T.H.E.S.E is an acronym for Tourism, Hospitality, Entertainment and Sporting Excellence)

According to Ayo Shonaiya, the producer of the event, “As we’ve been doing for over 30 years, producing the Nigerian Corner at the Notting Hill Carnival, it’s just getting better and better, and with Lagos State’s involvement since last year, we’ve now added the EKOpolitan Experience to it, which is aimed at promoting the brand Lagos to the world”.

Lagos state is indeed gradually becoming the cultural hub of Africa.
