Dufil Prima Foods Ltd, the makers of Indomie Instant Noodles, is set to honour young heroes of Nigeria in a ceremony to be broadcast live across multiple TV networks on October 13.
Disclosing this in a statement, the firms said that the much-anticipated Indomie Heroes Award is a Corporate Social Responsibility initiative of the brand that aims to recognize, celebrate, and reward children who have displayed exceptional acts of bravery, strength, innovation and heroism.
According to the organisers of the event, this year’s edition, themed “Unsung Heroes” brings to the spotlight the incredible and untold stories of children aged 15 and below, who have, through remarkable courage and selflessness, made significant contributions to their communities.
Speaking on the initiative, the Group Corporate Communications and Events Manager at Dufil Prima Foods Limited, Temitope Asiwaju stated that the awards to be given out are in three categories, namely: Social Bravery, Intellectual Bravery and Physical Bravery.
“The Social Bravery award honors youth tackling critical issues like child marriage, illiteracy, and environmental concerns.

The nationwide broadcast will showcase inspiring stories of courageous children in these categories, allowing the whole country to share in their powerful narratives,” he said.
