Maltina, one of Nigeria’s most recognised malt beverage brands, has launched a nationwide school tour aimed at promoting nutrition awareness and inspiring millions of students across the country as part of activities marking its 50th anniversary.
The initiative, known as the Maltina Nourishment Tour, is designed to reach up to one million students in schools across Nigeria. Through the programme, the brand seeks to educate young learners about the importance of proper nutrition, healthy living, and how balanced nourishment can support academic performance, creativity, and overall wellbeing.
The school tour began its first phase in Lagos, where teams visited selected secondary schools and engaged students through interactive learning sessions. These sessions combined education with entertainment, allowing students to participate in demonstrations and experiments that explain how nutrients help the human body function effectively and support brain development.
Organisers of the programme explained that the initiative is structured to make learning more engaging and practical. Students are introduced to basic science concepts that show how vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients contribute to energy levels, concentration, and physical growth. The sessions also encourage students to adopt healthy habits early in life.
The second phase of the nationwide tour commenced in March with visits to several schools, including Government Comprehensive Junior College in Agege, Ikeja Senior Grammar School, Surulere Junior Secondary School, and United Missionary Comprehensive College in Ibadan. In each of the schools visited, students participated in hands-on demonstrations and discussions on nutrition, health, and learning.
Popular Nigerian media personality and Maltina brand ambassador Oluwabukunmi Adeaga‑Ilori, widely known as Kiekie, also joined the tour and interacted with students during the programme. Her presence added excitement to the event, as she shared motivational messages encouraging students to stay focused on their education and maintain healthy lifestyles.
According to representatives of Nigerian Breweries Plc, the manufacturer of Maltina, the school tour reflects the brand’s commitment to youth development and education in Nigeria. They explained that the initiative was created not only to celebrate the brand’s milestone anniversary but also to contribute meaningfully to the growth and development of young Nigerians.
The company emphasised that investing in young people is essential for national development, noting that educating students about nutrition can significantly improve their health, academic performance, and productivity in the long term.
As part of the programme, students also receive educational materials designed to reinforce the lessons taught during the tour. The initiative combines science education, entertainment, and community engagement to create an environment where students can learn in a fun and memorable way.
The Maltina Nourishment Tour is expected to continue across different regions of the country in the coming months, with more schools scheduled to participate. By the time the tour concludes, organisers aim to have reached hundreds of thousands of students, helping them understand the strong connection between nutrition, learning, and personal development.
