The Ooni disclosed that he has always dreamed of owning a soft drink brand that would produce quality products to position Nigeria in the global soft drinks market.
He said:
“The license under which we produce Tingo Cola, Tingo Electra, Tingo Twist (Cucumber and Cranberry), and Tingo Booze Fruit Mix proves we are committed to quality and standards.
“One of our main focuses is our sheer determination to elevate homegrown brands instead of demarketing them. That’s why we have put resources together to create these exceptional drinks and produce what we consume to reduce importation and save the naira.”
Ooni vows to create five million jobs
According to reports, the Ooni disclosed that his entrance into commercial activities as a monarch is not profit-oriented but serves as a pathfinder to show people how to add value to products for international standards via seamless product distribution. He stated that his business ventures came from his passion for humanity.
He said he has embarked on business to create five million direct and indirect jobs for the Nigerian youths via retailing, recycling, and other forms of distribution driven by technology.
The monarch stated that Tingo Foods products have been certified by appropriate regulatory authorities, such as NAFDAC, and are fit for consumption.
“The Tingo Cola, for instance, is laced with lemon flavour and other natural ingredients such as cucumber, cranberry, and others that showcase the brand's originality and uniqueness. We made it according to safe specifications for consumption,” he said.
