Lagos business leaders took a break from boardrooms and deadlines on Thursday, December 11, as more than 350 CEOs, founders and senior executives gathered for the Q5 Party at Queens Park, Oniru.

The invite-only event, organised by Events Architects Ltd and led by its Chief Visionary Officer, Funmi Victor Okigbo, was created as a space for leaders to unwind, connect and celebrate the end of the year without the usual stress that comes with company parties.

Q5 Party was designed to help organisations close out the fourth quarter and step into what the organisers call “Q5”, a moment set aside for rest, reflection and renewed energy ahead of a new year.

One of the most memorable moments of the night came when all the CEOs in attendance raised a collective toast, celebrating shared wins and the journey ahead.

Unlike traditional end-of-year events planned by individual companies, Q5 Party offered a ready-made experience. Guests enjoyed a well-curated evening that combined live entertainment, a multi-course dinner, premium drinks and interactive moments spread across the programme.

The atmosphere remained lively throughout the night, with trivia games, surprise activities and an afterparty that kept guests on their feet well into the late hours. The SoMe Solutions team emerged winners of the trivia games and went home with a trophy.

Several attendees praised the smooth organisation and attention to detail, saying the event allowed them to celebrate their teams properly without the pressure of planning logistics or programmes.

The gathering attracted a wide mix of business leaders across sectors. Among those present were Kennedy Ekezie of Kippa, Great Nwakaibeya of GTI Rides, Kemi Okoya of Privado Luxury, Segun Okubanjo of Obsidian, Buchi Ajufo of Credential Communications and Atim Ukoh of Afrolems.

Others included Dare Herald of Kokopelli Africa, Eromosele Adene of ABENOL Foundation, Bola Balogun of Glam Brand Agency, Adaeze Okoye of Perfectly Planned Productions, Titi Fashola of Spazio Ideale, Ada Armstrong of StartupHR Africa, Jide Sipe of the Bank of Industry and Levi Adewunmi of Bridges Entertainment.

Guests arrived dressed in black glamour outfits, giving the evening a stylish and coordinated look that matched the premium setting.

The event was supported by partners including Chivas Nigeria, GTI Rides and Events Architects, whose collaboration helped deliver a seamless experience.
