Wema Bank Supports ‘Baba Kekere’

Wema Bank has reaffirmed the power of the arts with its commitment to sponsor yet another Nigerian stage play, ‘Baba Kekere.’

‘Baba Kekere’ chronicles the life and legacies of the late Chief Lateef Kayode Jakande, popularly known as ‘LKJ’ and ‘Baba Kekere’ amongst his closed circles. He was a veteran journalist and former Governor of Lagos State from 1979 to 1983.

Produced by DOC Productions, the play seeks to project the contributions of Pa Jakande, Lagos’ first civilian governor and a fine administrator with an unmatched leadership style. His contributions and values continue to be remembered in Lagos State and across Nigeria.

Speaking on the sponsorship, Head, Brand Marketing Communications and Investor Relations, Wema Bank, Funmi Falola, said the bank was happy to be associated with the ‘Baba Kekere’ project.

She said its support reaffirms Wema Bank’s commitment to promoting Nigeria’s culture and the creative arts.

Falola, who extolled Jakande, described him as a quintessential administrator worth emulating as a model by this generation and coming generations of leaders across all strata of the economy.

“Wema Bank is doing this because we recognize the legacies of visionary leadership and excellence of the former governor of Lagos State. We share in the values he left behind, namely honesty and performance,” Falola said.

She added, “It is the bank’s contributions to entrench a sustainable collaboration, encourage human capacity development, create employment opportunities, strengthen the arts industry, and promote live theatre. So, I urge everyone in the Nigerian project to come out en masse on the journey to re-live the memoirs of our heroes’ past as their good deeds shape our future.”

‘Baba Kekere’ will be shown on the 15th, and 16th, at the AGIP Memorial Hall Muson, Onikan, at 3pm and 6pm; and on 2nd May 2022, at the Glover Memorial Hall, 4 Customs Street, Lagos Island, at 6pm respectively.
