All that jazz at Ibis

AUGUST 30, 2013 BY CHUX OHAI

At a time most music fans have given up on jazz music, a new hospitality outlet in the heart of Ikeja is set to ng the music genre to the entertainment circles in Lagos.

The man in the centre of this initiative, Mr. Olufemi Okenla, Managing Director of Ibis Hotel, says it is his contribution to the growth of the entertainment and hospitality industries in the city.

“Basically we believe that entertainment and hospitality are inseparable. For this reason, our goal is to focus on hospitality with entertainment embedded in it. Both of them go together. For our opening ceremony, what we did was to have different segments of entertainment. It was intended as a message to the public,” he says.

On Sunday, jazz lovers were treated to a rare jamboree at the poolside area of the hotel. The event, which featured the dreadlocked Afro jazz pianist, Dapo Dina and Praiz as main artistes, was intended to signal to the guests that the management meant business.
