The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II has described the launch of Tingo Cola and Tingo Electric energy drink as a pride to Africa as well as to uphold local content principles and compete locally with other exportable brands.

Ooni gave the remark at an exclusive launch event, which was attended by captains of industry, media executives, senior government officials and traditional chiefs at Tingo Place in Lagos while he congratulated Tingo BV Plc, makers of the beverages, on reaching a significant milestone for black-owned businesses.
