The celebration was aimed at nurturing children by showing them love and giving them the attention they deserve, especially as they mark Children’s Day.

Indomie treated the kids and their guardians to various fun activities which included bumper car, carousel, the rockets, the pirates’ ship, the spinner, the tea cup, disco ride, and the air bicycle, all in a bid to strengthen the out of home social interactions of Nigerian children.

Wife of the Governor of Lagos State, Bolanle Ambode, who was represented at the occasion by Oyindamola Ogunsanwo, commended Dufil Prima Foods Plc for their efforts in always making the Children’s Day celebration a memorable one for children, especially by making it a week

According to the Lagos First Lady, Children’s Day is a day set aside for children to merry, enjoy and also for adults to appreciate the value and joy children bring to our world.

Speaking at the event, the Group Public Relations and Events Manager, Dufil Prima Foods Plc, Tope Ashiwaju, explained that the celebration which is replicated across various parts of Nigeria has been decentralized to make it accessible to more children nationwide. He stated that the Indomie Children’s Day celebrations is an annual activity which the company has consistently celebrated for over a decade as one of its avenues to celebrate with the Nigerian child especially in the face of challenges faced by families in the country.

According to him, “One of the reasons for this fun-filled event is because some of these kids may not have had the privilege to come to such fun places to celebrate children’s day, as some of their parents may not have the time or resources to do.
