Tony Elumelu’s UBA Stages Jaw-dropping End-of-Year Party for Its Staff
Tony Elumelu’s just-concluded UBA end-of-year party was no ordinary corporate gathering—it was an extravaganza that blurred the line between a concert and a celebration of work culture. The theme, Futurist Glam, set the stage for an unforgettable evening filled with glitz, glamour, and a splash of Elumelu’s characteristic charisma.
The venue itself was a showstopper, transformed into a futuristic wonderland that transported attendees to a realm of innovation and style. Guests arrived in outfits that could have graced the runway, each one upping the ante in creativity and elegance, as though the fashion stakes had never been higher.
The entertainment was a spectacle worthy of its billing. A robotic dance display kicked off the night, stunning everyone into applause. From there, the energy soared with performances from Nigeria’s biggest music stars, leaving no moment dull. Phyno, Shallipopi, and Poco Lee ensured the crowd was both entertained and electrified.
Amidst the revelry, Elumelu and his family were at the heart of the celebration. Making a grand entrance, Elumelu, his wife Awele, and their daughter Oge embodied the evening’s glamour. Awele’s shimmering monochrome ensemble turned heads, while Elumelu himself kept his charm understated yet impactful.
Elumelu’s presence wasn’t just about appearances. Taking the mic, he reflected on UBA’s stellar year, marked by the bank’s 75th anniversary and unprecedented milestones, including the growth of three of its companies into trillion-naira ventures. His pride was infectious, his words a reminder of what had been accomplished.
The event was as much about music as it was about camaraderie. Performances by Kizz Daniel, Odumodu Black, and Young Jonn kept spirits high. Even the DJs, Spinall and Wanni X Handi didn’t let the tempo dip for a second, ensuring the dance floor stayed alive.
For Elumelu, the party wasn’t just a celebration—it was a chance to share joy with his staff and the people he admires. As a proverb says, “Joy shared is joy multiplied,” and this party proved it. Elumelu, the laid-back genius, left everyone asking how one man could juggle so much and still dazzle.
