YNaija joins the rest of Team RED in Porto-Novo, Benin Republic for its annual retreat (PHOTOS)

The annual Red Media Africa retreat held this year from Tuesday, 29th of October to Friday the 1st of November.

All team members of the company were hosted to a time of consolidation and fortification at the serene Bimyns Resort in Weke, Porto-Novo in the Republic of Benin.

The retreat featured seminars, recreational activities, a visit to the beach, a private zoo, mock awards ceremony, singing competition, pool party, strategy sessions, lots of fun, fun, and more fun!

Here’s a sneak peek into how we spent our past week at RED.
