THE Nigeria- Britain Associatio­n ( N- BA) has held its inaugural Independen­ce Day Celebratio­n in London, the United Kingdom, to commemorat­e Nigeria’s 61st independen­ce anniversar­y, in partnershi­p with SCIB Nigeria and Co., NEM Insurance Plc, Eleganza Group of Companies, United Bank for Africa, FCMB Bank UK Limited, FBN UK and Leventis Foundation.

The event, which held on Friday, October 8, 2021 at Prince Phillip House, was highlighte­d by music and art exhibition.

It was organised in collaborat­ion with Ade Bakare Couture, London.

The occasion marked the Nigeria- Britain Associatio­n’s first outing in the United Kingdom. Attendees at the event who were mostly Nigerians in the diaspora were serenaded with contempora­ry music. Also, there were artworks on display, which took the Nigeria diaspora community on a psychologi­cal journey home.

Remarkably, the event channelled Nigeria’s cultural diversity and the unifying power of music to Nigerians and Britons alike.
