Ooni of Ife
The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has urged Nigerians to patronise locally-made products, stating that such gesture will grow the country’s economy.
The Ooni made the call at his Ile Oodua Palace, Ile-Ife, Osun State while playing host to the management of Titan Multi-business Investment Limited, producers of Titan Rice.
The company paid Ooni a courtesy visit to formally invite him as a special guest of honour at the inauguration of the Titan Farms corporate head office and rice factory located in Ibadan, Oyo State capital.
Oba Ogunwusi commended Titan management for their patriotism and originality and qualitative services to Nigerians. “We should commend the management of this great company and other few ones across the country for standing up to the challenges in the competitive market, it is obviously not easy. What I want to encourage our people to do is to patronise this brand and I assure Nigerians that they’ll be proud,” the Ooni said.
Earlier in his address, Founder and the Chief Trader of Titan Multi-business Investment, Mr Gbenga Eyiolawi, had thanked the Ooni for the encouraging words, affirming his organisation’s readiness to uphold its efficient service delivery mechanism.
“Titan is an agro-commodity processing and trading outfit, buying farm produce directly from Nigerian farms and processing them with our partner-mills and processing facilities using their high-tech equipment in the northern part of the country.
“These processed goods are packaged in our brand and sold directly to distributors across South-West Nigeria. “Pioneer of such goods is our rice brand known as Titan Rice which is produced and packaged in the north and then sold in the south. We started recently and presently have presence in Oyo, Osun, Ogun and Kwara states.
“We also have Titan Vegetable Oil which is launching into the markets this November. It is going to be of high quality as we only produce and sell premium affordable products,” Eyiolawi said. Accepting the invitation, the Ooni promised to grace the ceremony.
