Rite Foods Limited, a leading Nigerian food and beverage company, has reinforced its commitment to youth mentorship through a partnership with Women in Management, Business and Public Service (WIMBIZ) for the 2025 edition of the WIMBIZ Big Sister Programme, held at Majidun Senior Grammar School, Ikorodu.
The programme, a flagship WIMBIZ initiative, is designed to mentor and inspire young girls, equipping them with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to excel academically, professionally, and personally.
Speaking on behalf of Rite Foods, Olukemi Ogunsakin, Corporate Communications Manager, urged students to embrace resourcefulness, resilience, and adaptability. She encouraged them to view challenges as opportunities for growth, saying, “By mentoring young girls on confidence, career, and entrepreneurship, we are contributing to building a generation of strong, capable, and visionary leaders.”
Olabisi Adebisi-Opatade, Legal Counsel at Rite Foods, added that self-discovery is key to making informed career choices. “When you understand your values, embrace your strengths, and confront your weaknesses, you open the door to a career that is truly yours,” she said.
The partnership reflects Rite Foods’ broader commitment to youth development under its EYEC framework—Education, Youth Empowerment, Environmental Stewardship, and Community Development—which seeks to nurture talent, inspire growth, and foster societal progress.
Rite Foods has consistently supported initiatives that enhance the lives of young people. In May 2025, the company donated educational materials, including school bags and exercise books, to over 2,000 students across Ogun, Lagos, and Abuja, further cementing its role as a champion of mentorship and youth empowerment in Nigeria.
