As the world unites to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD) 2025, Rite Foods, a leader in Nigeria’s food and beverage industry, proudly aligns with this year’s theme, “Accelerate Action.” The company recognises and celebrates the remarkable achievements of women, particularly those breaking barriers in traditionally male-dominated fields such as engineering,  supply chain, technology, and sales.

At Rite Foods, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and empowering workplace where women thrive, lead, and drive innovation. This IWD, we pay tribute to trailblazing Nigerian women across industries and to the dedicated female professionals within our organisation—production supervisors, finance experts, sales managers, marketing strategists, and factory engineers—who are instrumental in our continued success.

Speaking on the significance of IWD, Seleem Adegunwa, Managing Director/CEO of Rite Foods, emphasised the indispensable role of women in driving societal and organisational progress. He reaffirmed the company’s dedication to gender inclusivity, stating, ‘’At Rite Foods, we believe in the power of diversity and the strength that women bring to the workplace. We remain committed to encouraging  an environment where women can excel, innovate, and build thriving careers.”

Further emphasising the company’s commitment to gender equality, Kudirat Balogun, Chief Financial Officer at Rite Foods, highlighted the organisation’s dedication to providing equal opportunities for all employees. “As we celebrate International Women’s Day, I encourage women to embrace their strength, ambition, and achievements—just as Rite Foods continues to refresh and satisfy diverse consumer needs with our premium brands.”
