A small-scale grocery seller from Plateau State, Ejiofor Akujieze, has emerged the grand prize winner of \u20a65 million in the Golden Morn Golden Hunt, a nationwide consumer campaign by Nestl\u00e9 Nigeria that rewarded Nigerians with a total of \u20a680 million in cash and prizes.<\/p>\n
Akujieze, who expressed surprise at his win, described the moment as life-changing. \u201cIt came as a shock to me. I won \u20a65 million, and it will go a long way. I am very grateful,\u201d he said, noting that the prize will support the expansion of his grocery business.<\/p>\n
The Golden Morn Golden Hunt, which commenced in January 2026, recorded strong participation from consumers across the country, with over 200,000 entries received. Designed around Golden Morn\u2019s smaller, affordable pack sizes to encourage wider participation, the campaign made it easier for more Nigerians to take part. At the end of seven draws, a total of 16,324 winners emerged, receiving cash prizes ranging from \u20a610,000 to \u20a61 million, alongside airtime rewards and exciting items such as washing machines, MacBooks, iPhones, and 55-inch televisions, in addition to the grand prize.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the campaign, Omofasa Orhiunu, Category Manager, Healthy Cereals at Nestl\u00e9 Nigeria, said the initiative was designed to connect more closely with consumers while giving them an opportunity to experience the brand.<\/p>\n
\u201cGolden Morn has been part of everyday life for Nigerian families, and with the Golden Hunt, we wanted more people to experience that,\u201d he said. \u201cIt gave both our loyal consumers and new ones the opportunity to enjoy a nourishing product that fits into their daily routines, while also being rewarded in a simple and accessible way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Also speaking, Wassim Elhusseini, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Nestl\u00e9 Nigeria Plc, said the campaign reflects the company\u2019s commitment to creating value for consumers beyond its products.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor over 40 years, Golden Morn has been nourishing Nigerian families and earning their trust,\u201d he said. \u201cThe Golden Hunt was our way of recognising that trust and giving back in a way that is meaningful and inclusive. What has been most inspiring are the real stories behind the wins, how this has made a difference in people\u2019s lives. That is what truly matters to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
