FirstBank reinforces support for arts at Oke-Odan Festival

FirstBank of Nigeria Ltd has highlighted its commitment to promoting Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage through the sponsorship of the Oke-Odan Cultural Festival 2025 in the Oke-Odan community of the Yewa South Local Government Area of Ogun State.

In a statement, the lender said that the sponsorship was hinged on its First@Arts initiative, which promotes African culture, and its #DecemberIssaVybe campaign, which celebrates culture, tourism and lifestyle at the end of every year.

The 2025 Oke-Odan Cultural Festival, themed ‘Leveraging Cultural Integration for Economic Prosperity’, focused on the dual benefit of preserving heritage and fostering economic opportunities.

The bank added that its sponsorship of the cultural event emphasised youth engagement and economic prosperity, as there were award presentations and project commissioning during the festival.
