Dufil Prima Foods Limited, the makers of Indomie instant noodles, is set to honour young heroes of Nigeria in a grand ceremony to be broadcast live across multiple TV networks on 13 October.
The Indomie Heroes Award is a Corporate Social Responsibility initiative of the brand that aims to recognise, celebrate, and reward children who have displayed exceptional acts of bravery, strength, innovation and heroism.
This year’s edition, themed ‘Unsung Heroes’, brings to the spotlight the incredible and untold stories of children aged 15 and below, who have, through remarkable courage and selflessness, made significant contributions to their communities. It will showcase a collection of captivating and inspiring stories from different states across Nigeria, with shortlisted stories of children whose heroic acts stand out being celebrated and broadcast live on TV for the first time.
Viewers can catch the live broadcast on 13 October 2024, and witness the heartwarming stories unfold on Africa Magic Family (7:30 – 8:30pm), AIT (6 -7 pm), NTA (5 – 6pm), Arise (5 – 6pm) and ONTv (5 – 6 pm).
On the initiative, the Group Corporate Communications and Events Manager at Dufil Prima Foods Limited, Temitope Asiwaju stated that the awards to be given out are in three categories, namely: Social Bravery, Intellectual Bravery and Physical Bravery.
“The Social Bravery award honors youth tackling critical issues like child marriage, illiteracy, and environmental concerns. The Intellectual Bravery award recognizes innovative problem-solving with limited resources, while the Physical Bravery award celebrates children who risk personal safety to save lives or prevent harm in their communities. The nationwide broadcast will showcase inspiring stories of courageous children in these categories, allowing the whole country to share in their powerful narratives”, he said.
Through the Indomie Heroes Award, Dufil Prima Foods, continues its mission of honoring the extraordinary achievements of young children whose heroic actions often go unrecognised. By bringing these stories to the forefront, the company is not just recognising these young heroes but also giving their bravery the nationwide attention it deserves.
This initiative reflects the brand’s commitment to promoting timeless values such as courage, resilience, innovation and selflessness, ensuring these children’s efforts are celebrated across the nation.
Over the past 15 years, these inspirational stories have moved the nation, and this year’s 16th edition ceremony promises to be no different. Viewers can expect heartwarming, life-changing stories that demonstrate the strength and humanity of these everyday individuals.
