"All work and no play", it is said, "makes Jack a dull boy". Students
of the Nigeria French Language Village, Ajara-Badagry, fondly called Villageois
et Villageoises, had a week-long
Programme which commenced on 14th June, 2025, to unwind and relax, as
they mark their annual Hall Week.
The Road Walk Tourism organized by the Students'
Representatives Council (SRC) of the institution was first in the series of
activities to flag off the events. The Walk, sponsored by People's Fitness
Club and supported by the Military and Paramilitary operatives in
Badagry, saw participants defy the heavy
rain in the early hours, to take about seven (7) kilometres walk from the
Nigeria French Language Village by 6.30 a.m passing through the Roundabout, to historical sites in Badagry - Slave
Relics, First Storey Building, the Agia Tree monument where Christianity was first preached in
Nigeria, to the Slave Trade Museum. The group also had a brief stop over
at the palace of the paramount ruler, Aholu Menutoyi I., the Akran of
Badagry Kingdom after which they returned to French Village by 9:30 a.m.
