The Iconic Brand Honors Women with Nutrition, Empowerment, and Culture Across the South-East
Lagos, Nigeria – MAGGI, a brand synonymous with Nigerian kitchens, has once again solidified its commitment to women and community by sponsoring the 2025 August Meeting. This year’s event reached over 8,100 women in 18 locations across five South-Eastern states, providing a unique blend of cultural celebration, nutrition education, and economic empowerment.
The August Meeting is a cherished tradition where Igbo women come together to discuss social and community progress. By partnering with this event, MAGGI is honoring women who are at the heart of their brand purpose. The brand-curated experiences went beyond its products, offering practical knowledge to help women make healthier food choices and build stronger, more resilient communities.
“MAGGI has supported the August Meeting for several years, but this celebration comes at a time when women empowerment, food security, and community resilience are more critical than ever,” said Funmi Osineye, MAGGI Category Manager, Nestlé Nigeria. “This partnership allows us to provide women with fresh nutrition insights, new skills, and entrepreneurial support that strengthen families and uplift communities.”
The event also highlighted exemplary women leaders and rising stars, recognizing their contributions with special awards. Nollywood actresses Ngozi Nwosu, Blessing Obasi, and Uzo Osimkpa were also in attendance, adding a vibrant cultural flair and embodying the strength and creativity of Igbo women. Uzo Osimkpa shared that being part of the event was a way to “honor my mother’s legacy” and a testament to the “enduring strength of Igbo womanhood.”
For MAGGI, the August Meeting is more than a cultural celebration; it is a platform to reinforce its long-standing bond with Nigerian families and demonstrate a commitment to supporting women as they nurture cultural heritage for generations to come.
