A collaborative event organised by Fritots Global Communications and Brazilian Consulate General, the ‘Night of Culture’ was staged to preserve, promote and educate people on the need to embrace the essence of culture as it relates to language, music and dressing.
The event played host to numerous dignitaries, celebrities, consul generals, deputy consul generals, high commissioners, adeputy high commissioners, and ambassadors of different countries like Brazil, United Arab Emirates, Germany, Russia, India, Spain, Japan and France.
Representatives of Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwoolu and traditional rulers within and outside the state also graced the landmark event.
