Victoria Uwadoka, Corporate Communications, Public Affairs, and Sustainability Lead at Nestlé Nigeria, emphasized the significance of these initiatives in shaping the future trajectory of the country. She stated, "Childhood is a critical period for forming life-long habits that could determine quality of life in the future. Therefore, teaching children to eat right, stay active, pursue their dreams, set and achieve goals is one of the ways through which we are nurturing the next generation of leaders."

Nestlé's commitment to this objective is evident through several impactful programs, including the Nestlé MILO Building Champs, Nestlé MILO Basketball Championship, Nestlé for Healthier Kids, and the Nestlé Community Scholarships. This year, Nestlé Nigeria is extending these programs to more schools and communities, aiming to reach an even greater number of children across the nation.
