The company’s presence added vibrancy to one of Nigeria’s most celebrated cultural festivals, attracting large crowds to its pavilion where guests enjoyed a range of beverages and snacks while participating in the festivities.

The annual festival, which has been celebrated for more than a century, brings together Ijebu sons and daughters, cultural enthusiasts, tourists and dignitaries from across Nigeria and beyond in a showcase of tradition, identity and communal pride.

Speaking during the event, the Managing Director of Rite Foods Limited, Seleem Adegunwa, said the company’s sponsorship reflects its long-standing commitment to promoting the cultural values and traditions of the Ijebu people.

“The Ojude Oba Festival represents unity, heritage and community spirit. As a proudly Nigerian company with deep roots in Ijebu-land through our operations in Ososa, we remain committed to supporting initiatives that preserve our culture and strengthen the bonds that connect our people,” he said.

The 2026 edition was themed “Celebrating the Legacy of Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona” and honoured the late Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona for his enduring contributions to Ijebu-land and Nigeria.

Also speaking, Fearless Energy Drink Brand Manager, Olaniyi Aderuku, said the company’s relationship with Ijebu-land extends beyond commercial interests.

Aderuku noted that the values of Fearless Energy Drink, including courage, confidence, ambition and self-expression, align closely with the spirit of the festival.

One of the standout moments of the celebration was the energetic performance by the Rite Foods activation team. The captivating display drew applause from guests and dignitaries, adding another memorable dimension to the festival atmosphere.

Visitors to the Rite Foods pavilion were treated to a wide range of products, including Bigi Carbonated Soft Drinks, Bigi Premium Drinking Water, Sosa Fruit Drink, Fearless Energy Drink, Bigi Beef Sausage, Rite Spicy Sausage and Bigi Flex Sausage.
