Managing Director of the centre, Omolara Adebiyi, in her remarks, said the idea of citing the hall in Agindingbi area of Ikeja was to provide a comfortable and exquisite event centre to enable guests mark their memorable events.
“This dream of a world class event centre was born out of the desire to meet the growing need of befitting celebration venues for our special occasions.The demand of world class event centre that are within every one’s reach far outweighs the supply available.The dream was conceived and we ran with it and to the glory of God, we are celebrating the manifestation of that little dream. I was asked once why Agindingbi and my reply was why not Agidingbi? We seem to have enough posh places to make our memorable events when the traffic takes us to the Island but we don’t have any or enough such places while the reverse is the case.
“Ladies and gentlemen, HighPoint is born and it is a world class event centre in the serene neighbourhood of Agindingbi, Ikeja with ample parking space. It is fully equipped with all that an event centre of its calibre should boast of anywhere in the world. And it is also available for everyone. When I say available for everyone, I mean everyone. The high class, the middle class, the diaspora and Nigerians and non-Nigerians. And everyone who love good things and cherishes good memories,” she said.
She added that the event centre is well equipped with state-of-the-art facilities that will make guests comfortable in a serene environment and make celebrations unforgettable.
One of the unique features of the double-floor Centre, Adebiyi said, is the capacity to accommodate at least 1,000 guests on each floor.
