It was a grand event in London on 28th October 2022 at Fresh
Row Centre when members of TAMPAN UK came out to celebrate. They were joined by
members from other parts of the world like Nigeria.
It was an evening of Cocktail Reception, African drums
Networking, Awards, Dinner and many more.
The National President of TAMPAN Bolaji Amusan (Mr Latin) flew
in for the event, so also Movie icon, Prince Jide Kosoko, and others.
A few days back, Doyin Amodu, the President of TAMPAN UK spoke
to CityPeople Publisher, Seye Kehinde
about the successful event.
How did the event go?

How many TAMPAN members flew in from Nigeria?
We had quite a good turn out from Nigeria. Like I said
earlier, The Global President Otunba Bolaji Amusan
and Prince Jide Kosoko were present. Also present were, Owolabi
Ajasa, Foluke Daramola, Joseph Momodu, Lekan Bature to mention a few.
We also had TAMPAN representatives from Germany led
by the President TAMPAN Germany. Who came with some
of his executives and their families, It was amazing.
Can you take us through the various segments of
the event....
Arriving guests were first treated to a champagne and cocktail
reception. I gave the opening and welcome address. Doyin Ola and Moji
Bishi were the MC. This was followed by an address by the Global
President which then led to the inauguration ceremony. Prince
Jide Kosoko advised members and all present to strive to uphold our
rich cultural heritage through theatrical acts while at the same time passing
across positive attitude and behavioural changing messages.
Then we had some performances including a solo musical
rendition by one of UK's artists Em Prince, poetic recitations by one of our
own Queen Joe Akinlotan.
And of course there was music provided by one of UK's top DJs DJ
Jaiddo.
Item no.7 was amazingly prepared on site by one of UK's
top and certified caterer Yetty Olawoore. With the food having a
side attraction of suya prepared on site by CEO of Palaces Suya Garden,
Mrs Ronke Okonkwo.
All in all, the music was fantastic, the food amazing and the
ambiance refreshing.
