Rite Foods Limited has joined the global community in commemorating the 2026 International Day of Families, reaffirming its commitment to promoting stronger families as a foundation for national development.
In a statement marking the celebration themed, “Families, Inequalities and Child Wellbeing,” the leading Nigerian food and beverage company highlighted the challenges faced by many families and stressed the need to create opportunities that support children and communities.
Managing Director of Rite Foods Limited, Seleem Adegunwa, said strengthening families remains critical to achieving sustainable growth and development.
According to him, unequal access to nutrition, healthcare, education, and economic opportunities continues to affect the wellbeing of children across society.
“Families are at the heart of every society. When access to nutrition, education, healthcare, and opportunity becomes unequal, children are often the most affected. At Rite Foods, we believe every child deserves the chance to grow, thrive, and dream bigger, regardless of background,” Adegunwa said.
He added that the company remains focused on delivering quality products tailored to the needs of Nigerian families while maintaining a strong connection with consumers’ everyday realities.
Rite Foods’ product portfolio includes Bigi Carbonated Soft Drinks, Fearless Energy Drinks, Sosa Fruit Drink, Bigi Premium Table Water, Rite Spicy, Bigi Beef, and Bigi Flex Sausages, which the company said are widely consumed across the country.
The company also noted that beyond providing refreshment and nourishment, its broader vision is anchored on driving social impact through responsible business practices, community support initiatives, and people-focused programmes.
Also speaking, the Head of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability, Ekuma Eze, emphasized the importance of collective efforts in tackling inequality and improving child wellbeing.
“Real progress happens when businesses, communities, and policymakers work together. At Rite Foods, we understand that supporting families goes beyond the products we make. It is about contributing to an environment where people feel supported, included, and empowered to succeed,” Eze said.
Rite Foods reiterated that empowering families would help build stronger communities and create a brighter future for society.
