The 2022 Zenith Bank Christmas light-up event, which took place on Saturday, November 19, 2022 at the Ajose Adeogun Street Roundabout in Victoria Island, Lagos, was a wonderful sight to witness as the Christmas and holiday season came to life.
Many employees and customers attended the official lighting ceremony, which was conducted by Mr. Ebenezer Onyeagwu, Group Managing Director/CEO of Zenith Bank Plc, with assistance from the bank’s executive management. Others participated virtually.
The 16th annual Light-up Ceremony at the Ajose Adeogun Roundabout had the subject “Let There Be Light” this year. According to a statement released yesterday, the light-up event was a corporate social responsibility (CSR) project by the bank to celebrate the holiday season by beautifying Ajose Adeogun Street, which is where Zenith Bank’s corporate headquarters are located. The area has become known as an iconic location, drawing people from all walks of life who come to see the wonderful spectacle with their families and friends, especially at night.
Speaking at the occasion, Onyeagwu expressed joy at bringing in the 2022 holiday season by lighting up the famous Ajose Adeogun Street. He said, “Today is a special day. It is special in that we will start the Christmas season off right by turning on the lights and igniting our customary festive atmosphere.
The wife of our founder and chairman, Mrs. Kay Ovia, is honored and thrilled to be among us, which makes it even more special.
He commended Quantum Markets, the organization in charge of the yearly decorations, for their excellent, imaginative, and breathtakingly gorgeous job.
He asserted that there are no recurring motifs in the Christmas décor we use because it is absolutely fresh each year. And just when we believe we’ve seen it all, a new one appears that is vastly and utterly different. As I walked in for the one this year, I was unsure if I was in a theme park.
Onyeagwu prayed for peace in every home, business, and nation while urging everyone to embrace the message and spirit of Christmas, which is about peace, love, forgiveness, and above all, respect for humanity. He also hoped that this year’s celebration would be unlike any other that we have experienced.
In the Nigerian banking sector, Zenith Bank has made a very clear distinction.
