From the AMVCA Red Carpet to Banex Mall: Queen Mercy Atang’s Next Big Move

Just days after shutting down the internet with her viral “bread dress” at the 12th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards, reality TV star and entrepreneur Queen Mercy Atang is making headlines for something closer to home. We’re thrilled to announce that the beloved Big Brother Naija star and Swit Cakes & Desserts CEO is enrolling her child in the upcoming Banex Mall Future Leaders Summer Bootcamp.


A Mother First, Everywhere Else Second

At the AMVCAs, Queen told the BBC, “What other place is better to advertise my business than the AMVCA?” Her genius stunt—a gown made from 500 loaves of bread designed by Toyin Lawani—trended for days and inspired entrepreneurs across the continent to “wear their business.”

But behind the celebrity, Queen is a devoted mother who prioritizes her child’s growth. When she searched for a safe, structured, and inspiring family fun place in Lagos to keep her little one engaged, Banex Mall’s bootcamp stood out.


Why the Future Leaders Summer Bootcamp?

Our summer bootcamp isn't just childcare. It’s a carefully curated program designed to spark creativity, build confidence, and develop future-ready skills. Here’s why Queen and dozens of other Lekki parents are signing up:

  • Safe, Secure Venue: A fully air-conditioned, monitored indoor space within Banex Mall, away from traffic and noise.
  • Workshops by Experts: From coding and robotics to public speaking and creative arts, sessions are led by experienced facilitators.
  • Family Perks: While the kids learn, parents can explore our electronics market, catch a movie at the cinema, or enjoy a meal at the rooftop lounge.
  • Flexible Schedules: Two-week cycles running through July and August 2026, perfect for working parents.


Queen Mercy Atang’s Message to Fellow Parents

In a recent Instagram post, Queen proposed a dedicated “AMVCA Nigerian Entrepreneurs Night,” proving she’s always thinking about building platforms. That same visionary energy extends to how she raises her child. She recognizes that the Banex Mall Future Leaders Bootcamp is more than an activity; it’s an investment in the leaders of tomorrow.

We’re proud to have the trust of one of Nigeria’s most recognizable young mothers. Her choice confirms what we’ve always known: Banex Mall is a destination for the whole family.
