It was all glamour for no fewer than a hundred children and other guests last Sunday as the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of RichyGold Group of Companies, High Chief Richard Ifeanyi Agbapuru officially commissioned an exquisite event hall and children playground in Lagos.
The facility located at 223 Ago-Palace Way in Okota area which is part of RichyGold Homes and Estates (a subsidiary of RichyGold Group of Companies) is built with a greater interest in children’s pleasure.
The facility officially named after Agbapuru’s one year old child, VICTORIA whose birthday formed part of the Sunday event, has an indoor play hall on ground floor which is equipped with high grade bouncing castles, artificial trackless trains, air power bikes and open roof cars, snooker board, simulated basket ball machine and others.
The event which attracted hundreds of personalities from various walks of life including scores of children was declared open with prayers and cutting of the ceremonial tape by a Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Victor Mbaekwe of Orlu Diocese in Imo State but currently on mission’s assignment in Edo State.
Dedicating the Victoria Hall and playground to the glory of God Almighty, the priest said “this place is created for the good of humanity in general.” He prayed fervently for more blessings for High Chief Agbapuru whose idea and finances birthed the facility.
The event which began in the afternoon after a heavy downpour that caused traffic snarl for hours in the area, had so much to offer in terms of musical entertainment, foods and drinks just as it provided children very good opportunity to dance and indulge in various types of plays in the newly commissioned playground and hall.
Many of the guests including children, joyfully joined Agbapuru and his family in the birthday dance with VICTORIA as she cut the birthday cake.
Ace music man (DJ Steve) was on hand to thrill the audience with different kinds of continental music just as an Igbo group was visibly on stage too with rendition of its culturally driven genre of music that pulled some guests up from their seats to openly appreciate the group.
Dignitaries at the occasion included members of Agbapuru’s high brow Hazie International Social Club of Nigeria, Ugomba Social Club and many other well wishers.
The Victoria Event Hall has a sitting capacity of about 500 guests while the playground is also spacious enough to accommodate many children. The playground is open to children every day of the week.
