    Optiva Capital Partners, Africa’s premier wealth management and retention firm, in partnership with MBR Signature and Bi-Courtney Aviation Services, will host a 20-day Christmas Festival at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport 2.

    This initiative is designed to bring the joy and magic of Christmas to travelers and visitors, creating a festive atmosphere that celebrates the season and engages the wider community.

    The festival, a first-of-its-kind in Nigeria and which would commence on December 1, was officially announced by the three collaborating companies to members of the media.

    The collaboration demonstrates the power of partnership, one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 17).

By recreating cherished traditions and fostering new memories, we hope to inspire a renewed appreciation for the beauty of the season” He stated.

    “We are not a gender-based organisation, we partner with those who want to empower the next generation. We are grateful to our sponsors, especially our lead sponsor, Optiva Capital Partners who enabled us to do more in this year’s conference”.
