This, the food and agro-allied company said, is part of its commitment to nurturing sustainable partnerships.
To this end, the presentation of the trucks took place at an event held at the FMN headquarters in Apapa, Lagos recently.
The redistribution trucks, which were given to the dealers as a gesture of appreciation and reward for their continued commitment and loyalty to the company, will enable them to expand their distribution network and reach more customers across the country.
The incentives won by the dealers include: 14, five-tonne capacity TATA Trucks and 1 eight-tonne capacity TATA Truck awarded to 15 top-performing B2C dealers selected for their commendable performance within the last financial year.
Speaking at the event, the managing director of the Foods Division, Mr. Devlin Hainsworth expressed his gratitude to the partners for their dedication and hard work. He noted that, their contributions have played a significant role in the growth and success of the company, and the gifting of the trucks is a way to further strengthen the partnership.
While appreciating the hard work and commitment of its partners in helping the company achieve its business objectives, he added that, “as we continue to grow and expand, we recognize the importance of having a robust distribution network, and that is why we are gifting these trucks to our partners. We look forward to a golden future.”

Responding to the kind gesture, one of the recipients of the trucks, Chijioke Owora representing Mt Olive Nigeria Enterprises, Ilorin said: “the truck is going to help our business grow, especially in regards to logistics and moving of goods. We know how challenging it can be to move around goods but a truck of this magnitude would go a long way in conveying goods from point of distribution to the consumers.”
Thanking FMN for the handover of trucks, another recipient, Opeyemi Idris who is the manager of Fulcrum Golden Heritage said: “Seeing this truck today, I am very happy, I wasn’t expecting this big truck, I was expecting the smaller one.
