Ambassador Ryan and Honorary Consul Guilfoyle hosted the annual Saint Patrick’s Day reception at the Honorary Consul’s Residence in Lagos which was attended by Team Ireland colleagues and many great Friends of Ireland.

Around 100 guests, drawn from across the Lagos business scene and Irish Community enjoyed a memorable event with Irish traditional music and dance from Nathan, Ronan and Colm as well as fabulous High Life music. A highlight was the recognition of Ms. Aduke Gomez who was presented with a Presidential Distinguished Service Award by the President of Ireland in January 2025.
