Saturday, May 25, 2024, will remain fresh in the memories of guests comprising children, parents and others at the Barnyard Children’s Fiesta organised by Union Bank of Nigeria.
The event was put together by the financial institution to commemorate this year’s Children’s Day celebrated on Monday, May 27.
Kids of various ages were entertained at the party with video games, face painting, dancing, and singing contests at the venue of the programme, the multiple-purpose sports complex of the bank known as The Stable on Bode Thomas Street, Surulere, Lagos.
A talent show that showcased the creativity of the children in attendance was also held, with parents and others watching in admiration.
“As a responsible corporate organisation, we recognise our obligations to support the next generation of Nigerian youths, who are represented by our current set of intelligent and talented children, in achieving their full potential through effective and sustainable positive engagement, even at this early stage of their development.
“Our ultimate goal is to continue being lifelong partners in facilitating success for our future great Nigerian citizens, as well as advocates for empowering and encouraging positive growth in our communities all around,” the chief executive of Union Bank, Ms Yetunde Oni, stated.
Over the years, Union Bank has consistently championed and advocated for the rights of children within the country through its special interventions, such as the Edu360 initiative, the Awarri Innovation programme, and various products and services that have equipped them with the necessary knowledge, skills, and tools to thrive in the present global environment.
