Rite Foods Marks International Day of Families, Calls for Greater Support for Children, Households

Rite Foods Limited has joined the global celebration of the 2026 International Day of Families, reaffirming its commitment to promoting stronger family systems and improved child wellbeing across communities.

The company, in a statement commemorating the annual observance themed, “Families, Inequalities and Child Wellbeing,” highlighted the need to address social and economic challenges affecting families and children.

Managing Director of Rite Foods, Seleem Adegunwa, said families remain the bedrock of every society, stressing that unequal access to essential needs such as nutrition, education, healthcare, and opportunities often impacts children the most.

According to him, the company believes that every child deserves equal opportunities to grow, succeed, and pursue their dreams irrespective of their background.

“Families are at the heart of every society. When access to nutrition, education, healthcare, and opportunity becomes unequal, children are often the most affected. At Rite Foods, we believe every child deserves the chance to grow, thrive, and dream bigger, regardless of background,” he stated.

Adegunwa added that the company remains focused on producing quality products tailored to the needs of Nigerian families while maintaining strong connections with everyday realities in communities.

The company’s product portfolio includes Bigi Carbonated Soft Drinks, Fearless Energy Drinks, Sosa Fruit Drink, Bigi Premium Table Water, Rite Spicy, Bigi Beef, and Bigi Flex Sausages.

Also speaking, the Head of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability, Ekuma Eze, emphasised the importance of collective efforts in tackling inequality and enhancing child welfare.

He noted that businesses, communities, and policymakers must work together to create environments where families feel supported and empowered.

“Real progress happens when businesses, communities, and policymakers work together. At Rite Foods, we understand that supporting families goes beyond the products we make. It is about contributing to an environment where people feel supported, included, and empowered to succeed,” he said.

Rite Foods stated that beyond manufacturing food and beverage products, its broader vision is centred on people-focused initiatives, responsible business practices, and sustained community support aimed at strengthening families and building a brighter future for children.
