NAN reports that Creative Economy Catalyst Ltd, the main promoter of the show, Kaycee Kennedy and Country Director, UK Department for International Trade, Chim Chalemera were at the meeting.

Kennedy, while giving his remarks said the positives of the concert include that it was the first African Show listed on Burna Boyā€™s official website with ticketing details.

The promoter explained that ā€˜Lagos Loves Daminiā€™ was the biggest outdoor music concert with over 30,000 audiences.
