Union Bank of Nigeria has reiterated its commitment to empowering Nigerian children during this year’s Children Day’s celebration.

The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Yetunde Oni, stated this at the bank’s special Barnyard Fiesta at its multiple-purpose Sports complex, The Stable in Lagos.

The 2024 International Children’s Day was themed ‘For Every Child, Every Right’.

The Barnyard Children’s Fiesta entertained kids of various ages with video games, face painting, dancing, and singing contests. The event also organised a talent show that showcased the creativity of the children who were in attendance.

Speaking on the sidelines of the fiesta, the bank’s MD, re-emphasised the bank’s commitment to empowering and supporting Nigerian children.

She said, “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.”

Present at the event were parents and some of the bank’s senior executive team, who were on hand to cheer and interact with various children as they engaged in the different fun activities lined up for them.
