Akinwunmi Ambode led administration has announced plans to honor late Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, as the week-long activities marking his 79th posthumous birthday and the 20th anniversary of his death draw close. . In a statement released from the State's Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Steve Ayorinde, the Government said the honour is in line with Governor's devotion to market arts and tourism and to observe iconic figures in politics, economics and culture industries who have contributed to the picture and development of Lagos State. According to the Commissioner, Governor Ambode will on Sunday, October 15, 2017, unveil a statue in Fela's memory at the Allen Roundabout in Ikeja. The Governor will also pay a visit to the Kalakuta Museum on Gbemisola Street, Ikeja where he will join family and Fela devotees in homage to the audio icon. The day will be rounded off with a Special Lagos Bound - a musical tribute to the man affectionately called "Abami Eda" - in the Afrika Shrine in Agidingi, Ikeja to draw the curtain on the 2017 edition of Felabration.
