At the 27th Anniversary of Epetedo United Youth Movement, an entrepreneurial award was bestowed on the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Balkeem Nigeria Limited, Akeem Salami for churning out quality products.
The Event was put together to honour Lagos indigenes and residents who have made meaningful impact in their various fields.
Akeem Salami led Balkeem Nigeria Limited, the producer of popular packaged Garri , popcorn and chinchin, is a supporter and promoter of made-in-Nigeria products and understands the need to tap into the numerous natural resources that are available in Nigeria thereby making efforts to rebrand the nation’s local contents.
The Company produces Ijebulawa Garri, Igbokwenu-yellow packaged garri and other quality staple foods.
Meanwhile, Igbokwenu , a brand of yellow garri, targets a wide range of consumer, especially those from the South-east and South-south regions.
