Managing Director Tobi Adeniyi noted that the Q1 results provide a solid foundation for the remainder of the year.
He emphasized that the growth was largely driven by volume increases rather than just price adjustments, a move analysts believe showcases the strengthening desirability of the company’s brands among Nigerian households.
Adeniyi reaffirmed the firm’s commitment to a “play-to-win” culture, focusing on speed and excellence across its various product categories.
