The spirit of Children’s Day came alive at the 2026 Access Bank/UNICEF Charity Shield Polo Tournament as pupils and students of the Access Bank/ Fifth Chukker School emerged the stars of one of Nigeria’s most prestigious annual sporting and charity events.
In a colourful celebration held at the Fifth Chukker Polo & Country Club, Kaduna, over a thousand students and their teachers participated in a day dedicated to recognising and celebrating children.
Through cultural performances, drama presentations, music, games, drawings, and paintings carrying powerful messages such as “Stop Child Abuse” and “We Are the Stars of the Future,” the children captivated guests and dignitaries alike.
Leading the Access Bank delegation, Chairman of Access Bank Plc, Mrs. Ifeyinwa Osime, expressed delight at the outstanding performances and reaffirmed the Bank’s commitment to using the charity platform to create opportunities for underprivileged children through education.
Speaking during the celebration, Mrs. Osime noted that the Access Bank/Fifth Chukker partnership continues to transform lives by expanding access to quality education and supporting the development of rural communities.
