Reacting to why a club of such magnitude should go off for nearly a month in the name of renovation, Lawal said, “Like I said, it’s our usual tradition. Can’t you feel the aura? Can’t you feel freshness? The aim is to give our patrons the best. Club business is hot business in Abuja hence we must give patrons the best. They do not deserve anything less.”

He dispelled the ongoing rumour that the Bank Club was shutting business, saying, “That must be the figment of the imagination of rumour peddlers. We are still doing our stuff, and competitors can’t move us with their fake news. I think we remain the most reliable, affordable and entertaining club in Abuja. Just like the renovation, everything now looks new, including our operations.”
