“The agreement we signed today is another pointer that all hope is not lost. If we believe in ourselves and specialise in our area of competence, we will be a better country than we are right now. One individual cannot take Nigeria out of doldrums, so it would require a collective effort.
“The Wake Up energy drink we have launched will go a long way to disrupt the dependence on imported energy drinks. It will also go a long way in saving the hard earned dollar used in importing various kinds of energy drinks into the country,” he said.
He also explained that the brand was also eyeing the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) market, adding after the launch of the brand in Nigeria, it will also be targeting other African countries with the product.
Also, the Brand and Talent Manager, Eastern Distilleries Industries and Food Industries Limited, George Faaye, said that the Wake Up energy drink is very perfect for consumption and unique to the Nigeria and Africa climate.
