Adams said; “it’s an honour to do it with Shalina. It is a great privilege. And I must say that Shalina is not selfish, some companies are just concerned about selling, but Shalina  is discovering and rewarding talents, as well as developing and giving back to the people.”

 

Remarkably, the concept which has the highly experienced team of 3P Primaa Productions and Promotions headed by cerebral  Prince Adeyemi Aseperi- Shoninare as part of its development and execution teams is centred on objectives which sought to connect the products to its loyal consumers’ lifestyle and aspirations.

 

Meanwhile, one of the highlights of the event was the celebration of the memories of Lanre Fasasi, a former Nigerian musician and music producer, popular known by his stage name, Sound Sultan.
