According to Ambode, the construction of the cinema would create employment opportunities for Badagry youths, while also boosting the tourism potential of the region which is already popular for foremost tourist sites such as the Slave Museum, The Agia Tree, Nigeria’s first storey building and many more.
The governor further encouraged young entrepreneurs in the state to take full advantage of the Employment Trust Fund made available by his administration, as well as seeking constant opportunities for education and self-enlightenment.
Ambode, who was accompanied by members of his Excos, commended the crowd at the stadium as he adjudged them the largest he’d seen so far in all the three venues (Epe, Ikorodu and Badagry) he had visited.
Also, the governor enjoined the people to be peaceful and law abiding for the remaining 4 days of the fiesta.
An array of artists who performed on the night include; CDQ, Mayorkun, Jazzman Olofin, Dremo, Eedris Abdulkareem, Olu Maintain, Dammy Krane, Minjin, Konga, and traditional theatre troupes who entertained the large and ecstatic crowd, giving them a memory to cherish for a long time.
