Fashola lights Africa’s tallest Christmas tree today Lagos State governor, Babatunde Fashola, will today light the tallest Christmas tree in Africa at the National Arts Theatre, Iganmu area of Lagos State. The light is part of Coca-Cola’s Christmas marketing campaign. The colourful tree lighting ceremony, which would attract media executives, would also be attended by dignitaries from both private and public sectors of the economy. Coca-Cola’s 30-metre high Christmas tree weighs 15 tons. It is mounted on a massive platform 2.5 metres high and 12.5 metres in diametre, which gives the tree an overall height that reaches more than 100 feet into the sky, nearly as tall as a 12- storey building. The splendid landmark stands imposingly on the large grounds of the iconic National Arts Theatre, the nation’s symbol of cultural excellence. The Coca-Cola tree is a refreshing addition to the Lagos skyline and will captivate national and international attention this festive season and after.
