While addressing the children, the First Lady said, “As your parents and guardians, we count on you to give us a glorious future. You have a responsibility to repay your parent's trust and investment in you through an unwavering commitment to excellence and the best character. I congratulate all our children in Lagos State and Nigeria as we commemorate another Children’s Day celebration.”

He further added, “After the COVID-19 lockdown, this is our major children’s day event to celebrate the Nigerian child. We want children to know that education is key which is why we are engaging them through educative games. Our message to Nigerian children is to continue showing love which is the focal point of Indomie’s theme campaign. This is almost the third generation of Indomie children since starting in 1996 as some are now parents. Indomie is always with them either as children or as parents. We are grateful to the First Lady of Lagos State who is the mother of all the children in Lagos State for taking time from her busy schedule to spend time with her children in Lagos State.”

According to the National Coordinator of the IFC, Mrs Faith Joshua, “The Indomie Fan Club initiative is without a doubt an innovative Corporate Social Responsibility project designed to educate and provide a fun experience to children, thereby enhancing learning for our children through several extra-curricular activities for children between the ages of 4 and 12. The Indomie Fan Club which was launched in 2005 has grown in leaps and bounds, providing opportunities for children to participate in various exciting activities such as singing contests, crafts competitions, excursions, road safety awareness, team bonding, and children festivals among others.”
