The Banana Island community in Ikoyi, Lagos, came alive, at the weekend, as Globacom sponsored the community’s Starlight Night to kick off the Yuletide. Organised by the Banana Island Property Owners and Residents Association Lagos (Biporal),

The 2024 Starlight Night, organised by the Banana Island Property Owners and Residents Association Lagos (BIPORAL), was an evening of celebration, reflection, and gratitude.

The event featured electrifying performances by Art Afrique and SPAN, as well as a dazzling Christmas fireworks display. The organiser said the event, which started five years ago, was “an evening to usher in the Yuletide season with families and friends as well as a day to reflect on how the year has been and be thankful for where we are under a beautiful weather.”

Meanwhile, Globacom’s sponsorship of the event included the lighting of a Christmas tree and street light boxes across key locations in Banana Island as well as the illumination of street light boxes strategically placed throughout the Island’s key streets.

According to the firm, “Christmas is a time for unity, joy, and togetherness. As a company, we believe in contributing to the communities where we operate. This is our way of giving back and spreading joy and hope to our fellow Nigerians, especially as we prepare to enter the New Year.”
