Ikoyi Club 1938 marked Nigerian Children’s Day with a full day of activities for the children and dependents of registered members, transforming its Lagos grounds into a sprawling entertainment and learning hub that combined fun with a deliberate effort to nurture the next generation of club custodians.

The celebrations coincided with the Eid al-Fitr holiday this year, making for a particularly festive atmosphere as children arrived with their parents and friends to enjoy a wide range of offerings.

Activities spanned book reading sessions with prizes, Virtual Reality gaming, PlayStation hubs, interactive electronic games, bouncy castles, slides, egg hunts, face painting, and sweet treats — a mix designed to engage children of varying ages and interests across the course of the day.

General Manager of Ikoyi Club 1938, Babatunde Orungbeja, described the celebration as a cherished annual tradition with a purpose that extends well beyond a single day of fun.
