Erelu said the event would not just be a personal milestone for her, but also a validation and testament to the enduring cultural values of Lagos, which she has been a custodian and promoter in the last 50 years.

This is why I want to use this milestone to not only promote the rich cultural heritage of Lagos State, but also promote literary works concerning her rich history and empower our people,” she said.
