The students had a healthy dose of family fun, good music, food and a wide variety of activities, including a Tiktok dance challenge. ‘Underground’ student artistes dished out popular songs, getting the already excited audience to sing along.

A lecturer at the Department, Dr. Evelyn Addison-Akotoye, addressing the participants, said the Course was to provide learners with the knowledge and practical skills for managing banquet and catering services.

According to her, the students were tasked to select a programme that reflected everything they had studied over ten (10) weeks of learning in the classroom. As a result, the students chose the Flock and Tail Friendships Party.

She encouraged the students to take their studies seriously.
