Rite Foods has committed to preserving Nigerian culture following its participation at the 2025 Ojude Oba festival, where it fed celebrants.

The Head of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability, Rite Foods, Ekuma Eze, said that the company, which was one of the sponsors of the annual Ojude Oba celebration, fed over 21,000 guests and tourists who came to savour the cultural celebration held on Sunday at the Awujale pavilion, Ijebu Ode.

Ekuma, while speaking with journalists at the event, said that the magnanimity of the food company stems from its commitment to helping in preserving the rich cultural heritage of the Nigerian people while also fulfilling its core mandate of giving back to the people.

He said, “We are passionate about enhancing the socio-economic well-being of our communities and preservation of the beautiful culture of our dear nation.

“So, our sponsorship and support for the Ojude Oba festival come from all of these, and by my record, we have fed over 21000 with our various brands of drinks and sausage. So, we are at Ojude Oba to thrill the Ijebu people and all who have come from all over the world to be part of this celebration of global ranking.”

Meanwhile, visitors to the 2025 Ojude Oba festival have hailed Rite Foods, maker of Bigi drinks and Rite sausage, for its constant support of the success of the annual cultural and global festival every third day after the celebration of the Muslim Eid-el-Kabir.

Speaking with our correspondent, some of the guests and tourists who came to savour the rich cultural heritage of the Ijebu people lauded the food company for its provision of free entertainment to thousands of culture enthusiasts who have come to witness this year’s festival.

Mr Oduneye Adedayo said, “I can say that one of the companies that makes the Ojude Oba festival more memorable and enjoyable is the support of Rite Foods. Every year, the company is always around to ensure that people coming to the Ojude Oba festival have lots to eat, drink and even take away, so I give them kudos, and I think with more support from other corporate organisations, the annual festival will continue to grow bigger and stronger.”

Mrs Tosin Alade also commended Rite Foods for their year-in and year-out support for the festival, adding, “You can imagine how it will feel to be seated here for hours with an empty stomach, but Rite Foods is filling this gap, and I sincerely appreciate them for investing so much in the preservation and boosting of our rich cultural heritage.”
