Our sister company, natnudO Foods, officially handed over Solar Powered Freezers and Insulated Carts to beneficiaries of the natnuPreneur Seller Scheme on January 30, 2025, at our processing plant in Obayanto, Benin City, Edo State.
With support from Heifer International Nigeria, this initiative, which operates through a Hub and Spoke model, is designed to empower individuals and businesses in the animal protein sector. Each Hub is equipped with solar-powered freezers for product storage and distribution to four Spokes, which are provided with push carts and parasols for daily sales. This approach will enhance local distribution, create opportunities for women and youth entrepreneurs, support small businesses, and improve access to affordable protein across Edo State.
This milestone follows the November 6, 2024 commissioning of our Benin City processing plant, where we officially launched the natnuPreneur Scheme in the state—a broader initiative focused on empowering farmers and entrepreneurs, particularly women.
The official handover was conducted by Mrs. Blessing Okpebholo, First Lady of Edo State, who praised the initiative for its role in driving economic growth and improving livelihoods in the region.
In attendance were:
Mr. Alaba Yunusa, Deputy Head of Business, natnudO Foods
Mr. Oluwatosin Segilola, Marketing Operations Manager, natnudO Foods
Mr. Nikoro Adekunle, National Sales Manager, natnudO Foods
Dr. Lekan Tobe, Country Director, Heifer Nigeria
Dr. Igenoza Adebayo James, representing the Edo State Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security.
We remain committed to fostering sustainable growth and empowering entrepreneurs through innovative solutions in food distribution.
