According to Igwe: “Our recent ‘Colourful Creations Kids Contest’ was a tremendous success and a true highlight of our back-to-school activation, celebrating Lagos Talks’ 8th anniversary.”
“This initiative provided a platform for children to not only express their creativity but also engage with the richness and diversity of our country through art.
“Watching the kids bring their vision of the theme, ‘My Colourful Nigeria and My Nigeria of Tomorrow,’ to life was inspiring, and it reminded us of the importance of nurturing young talent. Beyond the fantastic prizes, this contest fostered a sense of community, inclusion, and shared joy.
“At Lagos Talks, we remain committed to creating opportunities that inspire future generations while strengthening the bonds within our communities.”
