XMAS: Eateries, recreational centres host fun seekers

Eateries, hotels and recreational centres in major towns on Wednesday witnessed large turnout of holiday makers seeking Christmas relaxation and fun.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports large turnout of people who came to have fun and enjoy the Christmas public holiday in some of the tourist centres visited.

At both the Fatilami and the Eunice Egwu Amusement Parks in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, hundreds of holiday makers, including children, the old and young, were seen engaged in recreational activities.

Some fun seekers at the parks said the Christmas holiday had afforded them the opportunity to relax and catch some fun.

Mr. Fred Abana, who was seen relaxing at the Fatilami Amusement Park, described the Christmas season as an important period when people forget their sorrows and stress and enjoy themselves.

He said, “I came to the park with my three children to relax and enjoy since we did not travel to the hinterland for Christmas holiday. I consider it wise to bring them here to celebrate with others who are here.’’

Miss Joy Elom, Uzoma Eke and Agnes Ogwu, who were also at the park, said they appreciated God for the gift of Jesus Christ, whose birth the whole Christendom were celebrating.

Elom said, “I have come to relax and have fun with others here; for me, it is a great relief and I am enjoying every bit of it. I thank God for the gift of Jesus, whose birth we are celebrating and it is unique.’’

A restaurant attendant at the Fatilami Amusement Park, Miss Ijeoma Okogwu, said the occasion was an opportunity to make huge sales.

“The influx of people into the park is an advantage for us to make brisk sales; we are making high sales this period.’’
