The Veterans Night has become a constant feature in the schedule of events, as it parades great musicians of yesteryears who had thrilled the older generation of music lovers with their hit tunes.
The night helps the older ones to relish those good old days, just as it seeks to recognize and celebrate the music icons, some of whom may have been forgotten or abandoned to fate and ill health.
'It is pertinent to celebrate our living legends', the Akwa Ibom State Commissioner for Culture & Tourism, Rt. Hon. Orman Esin had said during a chat at the Ibom Christmas Village, while emphasizing the importance of a night as such, he explained the need to curate contents that appeal to all demography in the 32-Day Ibom Christmas Celebration event calendar; from the games arena, to the children park and the daily event activities designed to ensure that Akwa Ibom people of all age brackets find something amusing at the Ibom Christmas Village.
