MILO® NIGERIA PARTNERS WITH REAL WARRI PIKIN AND APROKO DOCTOR TO EMPOWER NIGERIAN CHILDREN

 

In a nation that prioritizes academic learning and achievements, Nestlé MILO® believes that sport teaches children invaluable life-skills that traditional classroom learning alone cannot.

 

MILO® is therefore pleased to announce a strategic collaboration with two Nigerian social media personalities, Anita Asuoha, a health and fitness enthusiast, widely recognized as Real Warri Pikin, and Egemba Chinonso Fidelis, a practicing Medical Doctor and Nutritionist, known as Aproko Doctor, to inspire parents to increase the participation of their children in sporting activities.

 

This partnership demonstrates the commitment of the brand to play a vital role in shaping children’s character and values, in addition to providing nutritious energy through the MILO® beverages.

 

 

At the formal announcement of the partnership at the company’s Head office in Lagos, the Category Manager, Beverages, Nestlé Nigeria PLC, Ifeanyi Orabuche said, “MILO® is deeply committed to empowering children through sports. We are therefore delighted to announce our collaboration with Anita Asuoha popularly known as Real Warri Pikin and Dr Chinonso Egemba also known as Aproko Doctor, to amplify the reach and impact of our initiatives aimed at helping children cultivate healthy lifestyles from a young age.  We recognize the immense value that these personalities bring to our shared passion for promoting healthy lifestyles.”

 

Anita Asuoha said, “This partnership is a homecoming for me as MILO has been a brand in my everyday life. Working with a brand I grew up with adds a warm touch, making this not just business, but also a personal journey, a blend that is a true blessing not only for me, but also for those I care about.”

 

On his part, Egemba Fidelis said, “On the path to a healthier Africa, the importance of health education and positive behavioral change cannot be overemphasized. I am excited about the cooperation with Nestlé MILO as we join hands with parents across Nigeria to raise healthier and happier children.  Equipping them to win daily will help to make the world a better place.”
