First@Arts Presents Umoja

First Bank of Nigeria Plc will stage the Internationally acclaimed, South African-based dance troupe, UMOJA at a colourful performance which will take place on Sunday, April 29 at the Expo Hall, Eko Hotels & Suites, Lagos.

The one day performance is aimed at celebrating heritage and performing arts, and ultimately restoring the culture of theatre, arts and stage performance in Nigeria, promises to attract high net-worth individuals in private and public sectors, corporate organizations and the diplomatic community.

The UMOJA (which in Zulu language means “the spirit of togetherness”) dance troupe, is a creation of two South African performers who drew inspiration from stories of deprivation and segregation that characterized South African history.

The choice of UMOJA, according to Folake Ani-Mumuney, head, Marketing & Corporate Communications of the bank was predicated on the shared values between the Bank and the group in the areas of contributing to the economic and social development of the people.

While UMOJA is committed to the empowerment of under priviledged South African children, FirstBank, a leading financial institution is committed to deploying its financial expertise to provide quality, accessible and affordable financial services to the populace with a view to enhancing the standard of living of Nigerians.

“The show offered networking opportunities for high net-worth individuals, it offers a good platform to relax and enjoy good artistic performance by one of the foremost dance group from Africa”, said.
