Aside from Rite Foods Limited, other organisations honoured at the Champion Media Awards include First Bank of Nigeria Limited, African Alliance Insurance, Innoson Motors, Access Bank, NSIA Insurance, Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG), and Dangote Foundation.
Unarguably, the fastest-growing foods and beverages company in West Africa, has a vision of becoming the industry’s foremost conglomerate by 2030.
Rite sausage brands became the most innovative Sausage Roll and number one sausage roll in Nigeria with the Innovative Rite Spicy Sausage, and dominated the sausage market with a variety of sausage rolls.
Also, it introduced the Bigi Carbonated Soft Drinks (CSD) and Fearless Energy Drinks in 2017. Since then, the brands have set the pace for others to follow, as the most preferred products by families nationwide, as well as addressing the market need of young pupils in schools.
The CSD has 12 variants, with the Bigi Premium Table Water produced with global best practices in purification for hydration, freshness, and healthy living.
The company’s inventiveness has earned high recognition in the energy drinks market with the first-ever packaged polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle brands for the Fearless Red Berry and Fearless Classic.
For a Nigerian-based refreshment organisation with humble beginnings, Rite Foods has defeated the chances in an industry soaked with numerous international brands.
In her remarks, the Group Managing Director/Editor-In-Chief of Champion Newspaper, Dr. Nwadiuto Iheankanwa, said: “The awards and recognition are intended to acknowledge individuals, organisations and agencies that made outstanding contributions in reshaping the growth and fortunes of Nigeria in the year under focus.
“We took extra care in sorting out these individuals and organisations as our Board of Editors was painstaking in voting for the right candidates.
“It is our little way of encouraging Nigerians to strive towards excellence in all their endeavours.”
Interestingly, the rapid success of Rite Foods Limited, presently led by second-generation custodians and gradually extending into the next generation, broken all encumbrances known with indigenous businesses, can be attributed to its quality consciousness and technological advances within the market space.
