Celebrating Nigeria’s Heritage: N-BA’s 2024 Independence Day Event in London
On October 12, 2024, the Nigeria-Britain Association (N-BA) marked a significant occasion in London, commemorating Nigeria’s rich history and its enduring relationship with the United Kingdom.
A Collaborative Celebration
This year’s festivities were made possible through partnerships with First Bank UK, NEM Insurance, Scib Nigeria & Co., and BK 90 Restaurant & Lounge. Philip Hall, the N-BA Vice Patron, commended the organization for its dedication to strengthening connections between Nigerians and Brits.
Honoring Longstanding Relationships
During the celebration, Hall reflected on his impressive service of over five decades within various projects throughout Nigeria. He highlighted the resilience and unparalleled warmth of Nigerian people while recognizing their ability to maintain an optimistic outlook amid challenges. His sentiments underscored the contributions of Nigerians across numerous sectors while acknowledging past leaders’ roles in fostering cultural exchange and collaboration.
The Significance of Nigerian Sovereignty
In his address at the event, Sola Oyetayo—President of N-BA—celebrated 64 years of Nigerian independence characterized by fortitude and considerable advancement. He emphasized that this commemorative event not only signifies national independence but also highlights a robust partnership between Nigeria and Britain rooted in shared values—a mission central to N-BA’s purpose.
Oyetayo elaborated on how this narrative reflects continuous growth driven by diligence from Nigerians both domestically and abroad who contribute significantly across various fields worldwide.
A Gathering of Influential Figures
The gathering attracted numerous dignitaries from both nations including Uche Eleanya Friday—the Admin Attaché representing Cyprian Terseer Heen—the Nigerian High Commissioner to the UK; members from diplomatic circles; parliamentarians; as well as esteemed members and guests affiliated with N-BA.
Captivating Performances That Celebrate Culture
Adding vibrancy to this milestone occasion were performances by renowned artists Tunde from Styl-Plus along with Weird MC who delighted attendees with traditional Nigerian music that resonated deeply within cultural significance.
Recognizing Contributions Within The Community
