Rite Foods Limited, Nigeria’s leading food and beverage company, has reaffirmed its commitment to youth empowerment and mentorship through its partnership with Women in Management, Business and Public Service (WIMBIZ) for the annual WIMBIZ Big Sister Programme 2025, recently at Majidun Senior Grammar School, Ikorodu, Lagos State.
An initiative of WIMBIZ, the programme is designed to mentor and inspire young girls with the knowledge and confidence to thrive in their chosen academic fields, future careers, and personal lives.
At the event, the Corporate Communications Manager of Rite Foods Limited, Olukemi Ogunsakin charged the girls on resource management, resilience, and adaptability.
She encouraged the students to take challenges as life’s way of moulding them into women of strength and virtue.
She said: ‘At Rite Foods, we believe in supporting platforms that shape the future of our nation. By mentoring young girls on confidence, career, and entrepreneurship, we are contributing to building a generation of strong, capable, and visionary leaders. Our involvement in the WIMBIZ Big Sister Programme reflects our belief that when we invest in the younger generation, we invest in Nigeria’s brighter future’.
She reiterated that self-confidence, resilience, and courage are attributes of a future-focused woman and should be embraced with purpose and readiness.
Legal Counsel to Rite Foods Limited, Olabisi Adebisi-Opatade encouraged the students to choose their careers with confidence and clarity, emphasising that ‘the courage to choose wisely comes from self-discovery. When you know your values, embrace your strengths, and confront your weaknesses, you open the door to a career that is truly yours’.
She further said that the WIMBIZ sponsorship highlights Rite Foods’ role not just as a producer of quality food and beverage products, but also as a brand deeply invested in mentorship, youth development, and empowerment in Nigeria.
This initiative aligns with Rite Foods’ sustainability framework, EYEC (Education, Youth Empowerment, Environmental stewardship, and Community development), which focuses on creating opportunities that nurture talent, inspire growth, and shape lives.
Through programmes like the WIMBIZ Big Sister initiative, the company continues to demonstrate its commitment to empowering the next generation, while encouraging a more inclusive and progressive society.
Beyond this partnership, Rite Foods continues to take intentional steps towards implementing transformative initiatives that enhance the lives of youths and children in Nigeria. In May 2025, it donated educational materials, including school bags and exercise books, to over 2,000 students in Ogun, Lagos, and Abuja.
