Rite Foods Limited, Nigeria’s leading food and beverage company, is celebrating this year’s Mother’s Day by recognizing the extraordinary strength, resilience, sacrifice, and nurturing spirit of women and mothers whose everyday contributions continue to shape homes, workplaces, communities, and the nation at large.
The Company also celebrates the remarkable women within its workforce who seamlessly balance professional excellence with the responsibilities of motherhood, bringing dedication, compassion, and strength to every role they occupy.
Mother’s Day, observed globally on Sunday, 10th May, is a moment to honour women whose firm commitment forms the foundation upon which families thrive and societies grow. From nurturing dreams and raising future leaders to providing stability, care, and emotional support, mothers remain the quiet force powering everyday life.
For Rite Foods, the occasion serves as a powerful reminder that behind every milestone, achievement and success story are women whose sacrifices, resilience, and determination continue to inspire progress both at home and in the workplace.
Speaking on the significance of the celebration, the Managing Director / Chief Executive Officer of Rite Foods Limited, Seleem Adegunwa, described mothers as one of society’s greatest pillars, whose impact transcends generations.
“Mothers embody strength, selflessness, resilience, and love. They are builders of families, shapers of values, and drivers of progress. Their ability to give endlessly, nurture consistently, and rise above challenges deserves not just recognition, but deep appreciation and celebration. At Rite Foods, we are proud to honour women and mothers whose contributions continue to inspire excellence every day.”
As a proudly people-focused organisation, Rite Foods remains committed to promoting an inclusive and supportive environment where women are empowered to thrive, lead, grow professionally, and successfully balance the demands of career and family life.
Beyond the workplace, the Company recognizes that some of life’s most meaningful moments are created within the home, from packed lunch boxes shared meals and quick breakfasts before school runs to moments of refreshment and bonding. These everyday experiences, often made possible by mothers and women, represent the heart of family life and human connection.
Through its portfolio of quality brands, including Bigi Carbonated Soft Drinks, Bigi Table Water, Fearless Energy Drinks, and Bigi and Rite sausages, Rite Foods continues to play a role in creating refreshing, convenient, and memorable moments for families across Nigeria.
Commenting further, the Head of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability, Ekuma Eze, praised the resilience and invaluable contributions of women within the organisation and beyond.
“The strength of women and mothers is extraordinary. Their resilience, patience, compassion, and ability to hold families together while excelling professionally is truly inspiring.
At Rite Foods, we celebrate women not only for what they do, but for who they are, the backbone of families, the heartbeat of communities, and a vital force in nation-building.”
