According to a statement by the chamber, the event which took place in Lagos last Friday, was a delightful blend of tradition and elegance that left attendees feeling warm and happy.
“The venue was adorned with beautiful floral arrangements and traditional tea settings, creating a charming and friendly ambiance. Hans & Rene provided an exquisite selection of pastries, finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones, and an assortment of fine teas that delighted all attendees,” the statement said.
