Hollandia, Nigeria’s dairy brand, is deepening its strong connection with Northern Nigerian consumers.

The company said the consumers are prioritising dairy consumption by choosing Hollandia Evaporated Milk and Hollandia Yoghurt as their preferred milk and drinking yoghurt for moments of wholesome nourishment.

‘‘Through television commercials, out-of-home boards, radio jingles, and activations in several cities across Northern Nigeria, the brand is reiterating its functional and emotional value to consumers in a relatable language,’’ the statement read in part.

‘‘A cross-section of consumers in Jos, Plateau, and Wuse, Abuja stated that the already beloved Hollandia Yoghurt and Hollandia Evaporated Milk have grown even more popular since television and radio commercials recently began airing as the products resonate with their local needs and way of life.

‘‘Some residents in Jos, where Hollandia Evaporated Milk is becoming popular with local tea sellers popularly known as Mai shai, spoke on the ever-growing acceptance enjoyed by the product.
