She explained that the road this contest began in 2024 and her team has been working to appropriate the event to showcase and project the Niger Delta region onto the world stage, thanking the Amanyanabo of Bonny Kingdom, other stakeholders and especially, the Project Lead, Mrs. Deborah Chapp-Jumbo for their invaluable support.

“I am bringing to you the Holiveah Artistry Paint-A-Thon, a journey that started last year. My team members and I have been thinking of a way through which we can push Niger Delta to the outside world through Arts and how we can show them more about our cultures and celebrate our histories.”  

“It is six days away and we are pumped. We are excited about this event. We are excited about putting the Bonny nation on the global map and it will be exciting for us that you will be part of this.”
