Kabeer Yousuf -
As the 24-day long display of culture, tradition and heritage spiced up with adventure, sports and gastronomic delights with lots of fun and frolic comes to an end today, the colourful extravaganza is leaving sweet memories for citizens and expatriates alike.
The Heritage Village that mirrored a bygone Omani era, the International Village that brought together countries of the world under one umbrella, the fireplays and comedians as well as the singers and dancers who enthralled the visitors, and the lavishly spread local dishes are all bidding adieu to the two grounds Amerat Park and the Naseem Gardens hoping to see again in 2018.

Lagos State government has said it plans to construct and rehabilitate no fewer than 13.16km of farm access roads in four cluster areas across the state.
The State Commissioner for Agriculture, Ms Abisola Olusanya, made this known at a press briefing in commemoration of the 2nd year in office of the Sanwo-Olu’s administration, saying the exercise would be carried out under the state government’s World Bank-assisted Agro-Processing, Productivity Enhancement and Livelihood Improvement Support (APPEALS) Project.
According to the commissioner, the access roads when completed would aid better movement to and from the farms; reduce losses particularly by egg farmers occasioned by broken eggs as a result of bad road and subsequently improve the productivity of the concerned farmers.
