Official Launch and Brand Commitment
The Easter Village was formally unveiled on April 3, 2026, with an opening ceremony led by Francis Obiajulu, Senior Brand Manager for Amstel Malta & Hi-Malt at Nigerian Breweries Plc. He was joined by prominent regional stakeholders including Dame Rita Mbah, Executive Chairman of the Enugu State Tourism Board, Osasu Oviawe, Ama Brewery Manager at Nigerian Breweries Plc, and Joy Egolum, Corporate Affairs Manager for the East region at Nigerian Breweries Plc.
This initiative was anchored within the broader Nigerian Breweries Big Fiesta campaign, reflecting the brand's ongoing commitment to curating culturally relevant experiences that celebrate the unique identity of communities across Nigeria while bringing people together in meaningful ways.
Family-Focused Activities and Community Engagement

Each activity was thoughtfully tailored to reflect the specific character and preferences of the host city, ensuring authentic engagement with local communities.
