The iconic chili oil from Rwanda, Akabanga Chili Oil, will now be solely distributed in Nigeria by Akabanga Lagos, following the 100 per cent stake acquisition of Akabanga 4U Limited.
To deepen market penetration and create strategic partnerships to position Akabanga Chili Oil as a household staple in Nigerian homes and restaurants, Akabanga Lagos is launching an aggressive dealer mobilisation campaign across the 36 states of the federation, aimed at boosting nationwide availability and visibility of the product.
Crafted in Rwanda by the renowned Sina Gérard/Entreprise Urwibutso, Akabanga Chili Oil is a premium blend of yellow African habanero peppers, sunseed oil, and natural spices.
Available in 20ml and 100ml bottles, the oil is cherished for its distinct smoky, earthy flavour and versatility perfect as a condiment or cooking oil across a variety of local and international dishes.
“Nigerians are known for their love of flavour-packed, spicy food, and Akabanga hits the right note with just a few drops.
“This acquisition is a dream realized. Having championed this product in Nigeria for years, we are honoured to now lead its national distribution.
“Fondly called Rwanda’s little secret, we’re excited to help more Nigerians discover its magic,” the founder of Akabanga Lagos, Ms Temitope Mudabai, stated.
Also, the founder of Sina Gérard/Entreprise Urwibutso, Mr Sina Gerard, said, “Nigeria boasts one of the largest consumer markets in Africa and is well known for its mouthwatering and diverse gastronomy.
“We are excited to partner with Akabanga Lagos to introduce this delicious tasting product to the market and we are confident that our product will feel right at home here in Nigeria.”
