Rite Foods Limited has reaffirmed its commitment to women’s empowerment, equity, and inclusive growth as it joined the global community to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD) 2026 under the theme “Give to Gain.”
The company said its dedication to empowering women remains a key pillar of its corporate values and long-term strategy for sustainable development.
As a proudly Nigerian and globally competitive brand recognised for quality, innovation, and excellence, Rite Foods noted that empowering women goes beyond a corporate social responsibility initiative. According to the company, it is a strategic driver of sustainable growth and national development.
Women occupy key positions across the organisation’s manufacturing operations, corporate leadership, brand management, supply chain, marketing, and extensive distribution network.
Through a culture built on merit, equal opportunity, and professional advancement, the company said it ensures that talent—regardless of gender—is nurtured, recognised, and positioned to thrive.
Speaking on the significance of the celebration, the Managing Director of the company, Seleem Adegunwa, emphasised the importance of intentional inclusion in driving organisational success.
He said the theme “Give to Gain” reflects the company’s belief that organisations achieve stronger performance and long-term resilience when they deliberately invest in women through leadership opportunities, mentorship, and capacity development.
Also speaking, the Chief Finance Officer, Kudirat Balogun, noted that the company’s commitment extends beyond symbolic celebrations.
According to her, the organisation remains deliberate in strengthening gender-balanced leadership policies and creating platforms that enable women to grow, lead, and influence decision-making processes.
The company added that the theme highlights a fundamental reality—that organisations that create opportunities for women benefit from fresh perspectives, improved innovation, and operational excellence.
As a major player in Nigeria’s fast-moving consumer goods sector, Rite Foods has received several recognitions for sustainability, innovation, and corporate impact, including honours at the Sustainability, Innovation and Social Impact (SISA) Awards and the SERAS Awards.
The company reiterated that through its continued commitment to equity, empowerment, and excellence, it aims to promote inclusive corporate leadership and contribute to national development.
