Sanwo-Olu commends Jan Roose for ‘perfect Lagos selfie’

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has commended a professional slackliner and balance trainer, Jan Roose, for his capture of a “perfect Lagos selfie” while working on a project between the state government and energy drinks brand, Red Bull.

The governor, who noted that Roose walked “in the sky from Sterling Towers to the Onome Rig,” noted that Lagos is the “epitome of beauty.”

Sanwo-Olu gave the commendation on Saturday in a series of tweets via his profile on X.

He tweeted, “Lagos is the epitome of creativity at its finest and we are saying well done and congratulations to @JaanRoose, the Guinness World Record holder, who has captured the Perfect Lagos Selfie while walking in the sky from Sterling Towers to the Onome Rig.

“His expertise in slack-lining, blending balance training, recreation, and moving meditation is beautifully showcasing our city’s vibrant spirit.”

The governor noted that the selfie by the Guinness World Record-holding Estonian slackliner captured the “beauty of our skyline against the backdrop of the Blue Line Rail is an admirable feat.”

“Partnering with the Lagos Safety Commission, this project highlights the splendour of Lagos State.

“This is one of many recent successful projects with the @redbull team which include partnering with the Lagos State Government through LASPARK, renovating Ndubuisi Kanu Park’s basketball court and recently creating the Lagos Encourage Park in Ikoyi,” the tweet stated.
