American entertainer and Grammy Award winner, Ciara Princess Wilson, on Friday joined Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu at the Nigerian Exchange to ring the closing gong, marking the official commencement of Lagos Fashion Week 2025.
The singer, who arrived in Lagos on Thursday for the four-day fashion event, pledged to use her global platform to promote the beauty, energy, and creative spirit of the city.
This was made known in a statement signed by Gboyega Akosile, Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity on Friday.
“I’m excited to have been enlisted in the mission to promote African fashion designs where I will be using my platform to showcase the beauty of Lagos.
“This occasion is really special for me, because my heart always beats better whenever I am in Lagos.
“I’ve seen the evolution of the city from when I landed at the airport to when I moved into the metropolis. This speaks so loudly about the growth and how the economy is flourishing.
“On the fashion side, this is exciting news for me because that is the way I express myself. To see the growth in the fashion space, I can’t describe how honoured I am to be part of this project,” Ciara said.
