TEEKY Magazine, Nigeria’s leading children publication will mark its 10th Anniversary tomorrow, in Lekki, Lagos. According to Mrs. Doris Akpovwa, Publisher of the Magazine and Chief Executive Officer of the TEEKY Group, the occasion will also witness the relaunch of the Magazine.

 

In an interview with journalists in Lagos, Mrs. Akpovwa, who trained as a Petroleum Geoscientist at Imperial College in London, explained why she established the magazine.

According to her, “Am a mother of three kids and I am passionate about children. The youths as they often say, are the leaders of tomorrow. Today, many of these potential leaders of tomorrow are drifting. And so, for a long time, even when I was in paid employment, I kept thinking about how I can positively affect the lives of Nigerian kids. I felt the best way to do it was to establish a specialized magazine that will cater to their interest.

I discussed the idea with me husband, himself a journalist, and he thought it was a good idea. That’s how we started. But I must admit that it wasn’t easy. A lot of hard work went into it.”

Speaking further, she said, “TEEKY Magazine is just one of our two publications. We also publish TEEKYRAZZI Magazine, a photospread publication that celebrates brilliance and excellence in children. Over the years, TEEKY has become a youths and family- friendly “edu-tainment” brand, providing positive engagement platforms and learning opportunities for youngsters. We have a TEEKY Mascot, which over the years have become very popular particularly in Nursery and Primary schools in Lagos, Abuja and Kaduna and at children parties where it entertains. The TEEKY Mascot is a wise, fun loving monkey that likes to hang around children and entertain them. He is a Child’s best friend.

The TEEKY Mascot slogan is ‘Your Friend For Life’. We also have TEEKY Hobby Craft store, TEEKY Entertainment as well as a TEEKY Arena and Events Center. We also have a TEEKY Fan Club. Every summer holidays, we arrange for our club members to travel to several destinations for Summer Camps. Over the years we have travelled to Madrid, Paris, Portugal, to mention just a few places. We are looking at arranging trips to Kenya, Ghana, Gambia and South Africa. We are in the planning stage right now. We will keep you posted.”

On tomorrow’s event, she says it will be a “Total celebration of the TEEKY Brand and our achievements in the last ten years. The event is being organized to thank all the customers, clients and friends who have supported TEEKY since conception. It is also an opportunity for TEEKY to showcase what is new in store and what clients can expect from them.

There will be lots of goodies, exciting activities for children and adults. There will a tour of TEEKY Arena and a Red Carpet on arrival. Ige Kachi from Find your voice with Ige” will be performing with a talented young girl. Fantastic raffle prizes are up for grabs including a getaway for a Family of 4 to a posh location in Lagos for 2 nights. Other prizes include a fridge, a ladies luxury bag and lots more.
