Reason why we are bankrolling Eko Hotel Easter Musical, the Jewel, First Bank mgtWhen the management team of First Bank decided to bankroll the Easter Musical festival of talented Artists, “The Jewel, A Futuristic Musical Theatre Easter Edition”, it brought to remembrance the saying of Calvin Coolidge, that since no person has ever be honoured for what he received, but for what he gave, FirstBank, the premier bank in West Africa and a leading financial inclusion service provider, decided to partner Eko Hotel for actualisation of boosting rich Nigerian culture.


The bank’s representative in the event, pointed out that “FirstBank has a rich legacy of supporting the arts and championing cultural development in Nigeria. Through its First@arts initiative, the Bank has played a pivotal role in promoting artistic expression by providing platforms for creatives to showcase their talents and connect with wider audiences, including potential patrons.

Theatre critics have already labeled the production as “jaw-dropping” and a genuine attempt to redefine Broadway excellence on African soil. Audiences can expect to be immersed in a world of wonder through cutting-edge production design, choreography, and musical direction.

In her excitement, the Director, Sales and Marketing, Eko Hotel and Suites, Dr. Iyadunni Gbadebo, said “Africa shouldn’t seek permission to innovate; we can reimagine global standards in performing arts through our unique cultural lens and a powerful story telling technique.

Theatre is not only a transformative art form; it is a potent economic engine waiting to be fully explored in Nigeria.

Eko hotels and Suites will continue to invent and re-invent, giving our current and prospective audiences more reasons to enjoy art in a different form. More reasons to choose us.

The Jewel – this amazing piece of theatre art will leave you sold on our shows, even for future dates. It is a must watch!
As major sponsors, FirstBank and Eko Hotels are set to thrill families with this exceptional theatrical experience this Easter holiday.

Eko Hotel, known for its vibrant cultural support, has consistently championed theatre and the performing arts. Over the years, it has served as a premier venue for numerous acclaimed productions, including performances by some of Nigeria’s most respected theatre companies.

Set for Easter weekend, the highly anticipated show, inspired by Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka’s “The Lion and the Jewel” and Ola Rotimi’s “Our Husband Has Gone Mad Again,” promises to deliver a mesmerizing blend of traditional Nigerian literary classics reimagined through innovative staging and contemporary musical arrangements. “The Jewel” will take the stage for two days – April 18th and 19th—at the Eko Hotel Convention Center.
