Nigeria broke the world record of the largest
bottle tree in the world on Wednesday night
in Lagos with eight thousand bottles,
surpassing the current world record of 1,000
beer bottles held by the Chinese city of
Shanghai.
The record breaking bottle tree, which is
situated along the Eko Atlantic stretch in
Victoria Island, Lagos, venue of the much
anticipated Lagos Countdown 2014, is made of
empty beer bottles.
The tree is part of the side attractions for the
annual New Year Lagos countdown organised
by the Lagos State Signage & Advertisement
Agency, LASAA, and Star beer.
Speaking at the press conference held on
Wednesday to officially unveil the tree, the
managing director of LASAA, George Noah,
said the tree stood as an iconic landmark in
Lagos.
“This is not just about arranging bottles, it’s
an iconic landmark which will bring more
people to the 2014 countdown,” he said.
“Nigeria just broke the world record with this
and I think Star should be commended for
this. It shows their creativity and readiness to
celebrate the Christmas and and New year in
a grand style for Lagosians.”
Walter Drenth, the marketing director,
Nigerian Breweries Plc, said he was humbled
by the attraction to the Star bottle tree by
Lagosians and those who appreciate creativity.
