Prestigious Zinnia Hall of Eko Hotel and Suites will accommodate invited guests and the performance.

Over the years, the Red Ball has been the principal fund-raising vehicle for the foundation which caters for hundreds of displaced Bakassi children. Since the ceding of parts of Bakassi to Cameroun, the plight of the children has further worsened. It is for this reason that the single voice of the humane mother and passionate woman, Sen. Ita-Giwa who has vowed to ensure the best and improve the welfare of the helpless children be supported.

Her words: “I am determined and I still remain absolutely resolute to cater for the needs of these innocent children who are victims of political machination and geographical dispute until they are properly resettled.

An international fashion show will also be on parade,   as the management of Vlisco has indicated interest to partner with the Red Ball event. The frontline textile manufacturing firm will provide eight stunning outfits for the Middle East Afro Fusion fashion show. The fabrics will be worn by famous Nollywood acts. A statement released by its Head of Channel and Trade Strategy, Simi Belo, informs that Vlisco creates premium Dutch designed wax prints that embody African identity.
