Meet & Greet

You will be surprised "farewell to Sagir"? Yes it's right Sagir is leaving Lagos because his office had transferred him to Abuja.

This will not stop me from being a LG rather it's an opportunity that I have been looking forward to. It's time for Abuja LGs community to be revived..

After having some photo session and refreshments the LG proceed to The-36-Walk-Ebute-meta-Lagos-Nigeria.

Due to the limited number of tags I cannot tag the participants.

Note: Emeka, Isaac, Sayo, Lekena, and Pwana were unavoidably absent due to some personal issues beyond their control.

Thanks everyone for making this a successful one...

Regards.

It was a great event and an opportunity to learn the history of the local guides and the importance of the voluntary work we as local guides perform. This was actually my first time attending a summit. 

[Edidyong]

This is beautiful guys, well done.

[KashifMisidia]

It seems you guys had a great time @Sagir , indeed its a big event to see on Connect Alhamdullilah, after a long time, because Pandemic spoiled everything in all over the world. But now I'm happy to see that we are back to the time when everything was normal. 

Thanks for Sharing and Congratulations to everyone who participated in such a great event. 

[MrLabule]
