Maggi, a food seasoning product from Nestlé Ghana Limited has partnered the Gold Coast Restaurant and Cocktail Bar and organised the December edition of Fufu Festival in Accra to mark the festive season.

The event was aimed to bring together family and friends to celebrate and enjoy various indigenous foods, especially fufu with varied soups and protein as well as to celebrate the enriched taste of Maggi.

According to Corporate Communications Manager - Nestlé, Deborah Kwablah, Fufu was selected as the main meal to headline the event because it one of the most indigenous meals consumed by almost everybody in the country.

"We acknowledge Fufu is a very special meal for almost everyone irrespective of where one comes from, so the best way to launch ourself into the festive season is to celebrate the Fufu festival with Maggi."

The event also featured a variety of indigenous delicacies, including Omotuo, Kokonte, and Banku, alongside live band performances and engaging games, where winners were rewarded with products from Maggi.

Acknowledging the challenges that impacted businesses over the year, Ms. Kwablah noted that Nestlé had a successful and dynamic year, and underscored the company's dedication to sustainability.

"We continue to intensify sustainability, such as waste collections, renewable electricity, waste water treatment and other aspect of sustainability and we hope to do more for next year."

She took the opportunity to advice Ghanaians to stay safe during the festive season and encouraged the use of Maggie in preparation of dishes in various homes.
Magherita Amon, Category Development Executive - Nestlé, also explained further that the event is not only to celebrate the various indigenous foods we consume in the country but to also be used as a platform to educate attendees on the ingredients used for Maggi, various brands of Maggi available in the market and its nutritional values.
