Jameson brought the heat back to the Capital City on Saturday March 26th, 2022, in an unpretentious, unexpected, and unbelievable way. Since its first edition in 2015, the brand has hosted Jameson Connects experiences at remarkable, historical, and cultural sites: from Jaekel House to Nigeria’s first train station – Lagos Iddo Terminus. This time around, they decided to take the next experience to the rocky outcrops of Acropolis Park.
