Silverbird Ghana with the help of Aero Contractors, one of the leading airlines in the region organised a weekend trip to Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria for Ghanaian journalists from seven (7) top Ghanaian media houses. The all-inclusive trip was arranged to provide an experiential setting of the glamour, glitz and enterprise, by Silverbird in the ‘Silverbird lifestyle’ way.
The team included journalists from Daily Graphic, Business & Financial Times, Daily Guide, Joy99.7FM, Peace104.3FM, Happy98.9FM, e.tv Ghana and a prominent freelance journalist.
After a safe flight on Aero Contractors to the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos the group, led by Ms. Brooke Nuwati, Corporate Communications Manager of Global Media Alliance Group, the Ghanaian squad was welcomed in grandeur by the Silverbird Group with camera men from Silverbird Television (STV) capturing every V.I.P. moment.
The journalists had the opportunity to take a tour around Aero Contractors led by Marketing Manager Chika Ubendu and Head of Commercial Robert Prophet. Mr. Prophet took the group through the sound business ideologies, which makes Aero one of the best international airlines in the sub-region. He said Aero has been in operation for 50 years and is known for its timely and safe flights. He hinted that Aero is considering expansions to other parts of the continent.
Upon entering the Silverbird Galleria in Lagos, the journalists were introduced to the beauty and magnificence of the bustling mall that houses cinema halls, restaurants, internet cafes, balling alley, spas, boutiques, and high end shops dealing with all sorts of merchandises.
Joy FM’s Seth Kwame Boateng exclaimed “Wow! This is a mall, much bigger than the Accra Mall. This is really huge and I’m happy to be here”.
The journalists were received by Silverbird Lagos General Manager Jonathan Murray Bruce who briefed them about Silverbird’s operations in Nigeria and how Silverbird has become a household name in Nigeria due to the quality of entertainment they offer to their customers. “World-class entertainment in Nigeria has become synonymous to Silverbird and this is what we plan to replicate in many other countries on the continent” he said.
Flight sponsors Aero Contractors flew the team with their utmost hospitality again to Abuja the next day. The feeling of the pressmen is difficult to express as they were utterly stunned by the awesomeness and beauty of the classy Silverbird entertainment centre in Abuja. “Magnificent, out-of-this-world, amazing, beautiful etc” were some of the expressions the journalists used upon entering the nine-floor edifice.
Head of Silverbird Africa Malls, Jide Asumah, welcomed the team and briefed them about Silverbird Africa’s operations. He also gave the team great insights about operating entertainment businesses in Nigeria and Africa in general.
Climaxing the trip was the 10-minutes ride in the Escalade limousine around Silverbird in Abuja. The team of journalists never let their feet down while they cruised in the long beautiful stretch limo. As part of their world-class entertainment service delivery, Silverbird Abuja also renders limo services where individuals or groups of people rent the plush vehicles for a number of hours with a chauffeur to take them around.
Ms. Brooke Nuwati says, “This initiative is a way of saying thank you to our media friends who continue to support our businesses and activities. This is only the first in a series to come. At Silverbird, we believe everybody, (children, adults, workers) and any category of persons are entitled to quality entertainment. This trip has offered our journalists who are often on the go with work and have little or no time to relax an opportunity to match business with pleasure”.
The fun-packed trip also gave the team of journalists the chance to enjoy movies at Silverbird’s VIP and EIP (Extremely Important People) cinema halls.
