The Federal Palace Hotel & Casino, in partnership with Sterling Bank Plc, has showcased young Nigerian artists at the “Uncover Naija Arts Exhibition” in Lagos.

The event, held on September 25, 2025, at the hotel’s Victoria Island venue, featured works under the theme Timeless Voices and focused on promoting Nigeria’s culture and tourism.

In a statement, the Managing Director of Federal Palace Hotel & Casino, Mr Oladimeji Oladipo, said the collaboration reflected the private sector’s role in supporting the arts.

He said, “Our hotel has been a meeting point for leaders, creatives and innovators for decades. This event reminds us that when the private sector, cultural ambassadors, and financial partners come together, we can build bridges that go beyond businesses that enrich our society, our economy, and our shared humanity.”

The Marketing Manager, Mr Nathaniel Ligbago, added that the success of the exhibition confirmed the hotel’s new brand positioning as “an iconic and timeless luxury destination.”

Head of Tourism and Creative Art Business at Sterling Bank Plc, Mrs Abiola Adelana, also said the exhibition was in line with the bank’s mission to build a sustainable tourism ecosystem.

She said, “Our collaboration with Federal Palace Hotel & Casino for the Uncover Naija Arts Exhibition aligns perfectly with our mission to build a sustainable tourism ecosystem. By championing initiatives like this, we not only empower local artists but also create an engaging and authentic experience that showcases the richness of Nigeria to the world.”

The exhibition drew a large audience of art lovers and stakeholders, with organisers promising more cultural events in the future.
