As Nigeria commemorates Children’s Day 2026, Rite Foods Limited has celebrated the brilliance, creativity and limitless potential of Nigerian children, while advocating inclusive education, stronger family support and brighter opportunities for every child.
The leading food and beverage company stated that this year’s Children’s Day theme, “Inclusive for Every Child,” underscores the importance of raising children in loving and supportive environments where learning, kindness, confidence and strong values can thrive.
According to the company, every child deserves the opportunity to dream boldly and become the best version of themselves, regardless of background or circumstance.
Speaking on the significance of the celebration, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Rite Foods Limited, Seleem Adegunwa, described children as the heartbeat of the nation’s future and called for greater commitment toward nurturing them with care, encouragement and the right support systems.
“Every child carries greatness inside them. When children are given access to education, guidance, love and opportunities, they become confident leaders, innovators and changemakers for tomorrow. We must continue to create environments that empower children to dream without limits,” he said.
Adegunwa further noted that Rite Foods remains committed to supporting Nigerian families through quality products that bring refreshment, happiness and value to everyday moments.
He highlighted the company’s wide range of products, including the 13 variants of Bigi Carbonated Soft Drinks, Bigi Premium Table Water, Sosa Fruit Drinks in five flavours, Fearless Energy Drink available in Classic and Red Berry variants, as well as Rite Spicy Sausage, Bigi Sausage and Bigi Flex Sausage Rolls.
According to him, the company continues to create memorable experiences for millions of consumers across Nigeria through innovation, quality and customer satisfaction.
Also speaking, the Head of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability, Ekuma Eze, said investing in children remains one of the greatest commitments any society can make.
“Children are the future leaders, creators and builders of our nation. When we invest in their education and values today, we are building a stronger and brighter tomorrow for Nigeria. Every child deserves the chance to shine,” he said.
Over the years, Rite Foods has continued to engage young Nigerians through impactful initiatives aimed at promoting talent, creativity, confidence and self-expression.
The company’s leadership in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry has also earned international recognition, including the prestigious Best Foods and Beverage Brand Award at the Global Brand Awards.
Rite Foods said the recognition reflects its commitment to excellence, innovation and consumer satisfaction.
As children across Nigeria celebrate Children’s Day, the company encouraged them to keep dreaming big, believing in themselves and embracing the endless possibilities ahead.
