Rite Foods Limited has reaffirmed its commitment to women’s empowerment, equity and inclusive growth as it joined the global community to mark International Women’s Day 2026 under the theme, “Give to Gain”.
The Nigerian food and beverage company said empowering women remains central to its business philosophy and long-term sustainability strategy, noting that inclusive workplaces strengthen innovation, performance and national development.
Rite Foods stated that women play key roles across its operations, including manufacturing, corporate leadership, brand management, supply chain, marketing and its extensive distribution network. According to the company, a culture built on merit, equal opportunity and professional development ensures that talent, regardless of gender, is supported and positioned to succeed.
Speaking on the significance of the global observance, the Managing Director of Rite Foods, Seleem Adegunwa, reiterated the company’s commitment to inclusive growth and deliberate investment in women.
“At Rite Foods, we believe sustainable growth is built on inclusive opportunity. ‘Give to Gain’ reflects our conviction that when organisations invest deliberately in women through leadership pathways, mentorship, and capacity development they gain stronger performance and long-term resilience.”
Also speaking, the Chief Finance Officer, Mrs Kudirat Balogun, said the company’s commitment to gender equity goes beyond symbolic recognition.
“Our commitment goes beyond words. We are deliberate about strengthening gender-balanced leadership policies and creating platforms that enable women to grow, lead, and influence decision-making. True empowerment requires sustained action, and we remain steadfast in driving measurable impact.”
The company noted that the theme “Give to Gain” highlights the value organisations derive when they create opportunities for women, including broader perspectives, stronger collaboration and improved operational performance.
Rite Foods said its continued focus on sustainability, innovation and inclusive corporate practices has earned the company several industry recognitions in Nigeria’s fast-moving consumer goods sector. These include the Outstanding FMCG Corporate Brand of the Year at the Edge Awards, as well as multiple honours at the Sustainability, Innovation and Social Impact Awards and the SERAS Awards.
The company added that its commitment to equity, empowerment and excellence remains a key pillar of its leadership approach and contribution to Nigeria’s evolving corporate landscape.
