In a related development, a delegation of the brand recently paid a courtesy visit to the Olubadan of Ibadanland, His Imperial Majesty Oba (Dr) Olalekan Balogun, at his residence in Ibadan.
A statement made available to newsmen said the monarch endorsed Goldberg Lager Beer.
The statement read in part: “Goldberg, the premium lager beer from the stables of Nigerian Breweries has been endorsed by the new Olubadan of Ibadanland, His Imperial Majesty Oba (Dr) Olalekan Balogun.”
The team led by Tayo Ogundana, Brewery Manager, Nigerian Breweries (Ibadan and Ijebu Ode), said they were at the palace to congratulate the monarch on his recent installation as the 42nd Olubadan of Ibadanland and restate the brand’s commitment to the community.
Addressing the delegation, the Olubadan thanked Nigerian Breweries for its continued contribution to the growth and economic development of Nigeria and Ibadanland. He went a step further to endorse Goldberg as the beer of choice, recognising its role in keeping tradition and values alive in modern times.
“Goldberg has over the years been known for celebrating our heritage. This is a noble course as we strive to preserve our traditional values in the face of modernity. I am aware of the tremendous support Goldberg gave during my coronation as the 42nd Olubadan of Ibadan.
“This is a good development which I and the people of Ibadanland so much appreciate. Do keep up the good work. I hereby bless this drink and wish you the best,” Oba Olalekan prayed.
Nigerian Breweries commissioned its Ibadan brewery in 1982 and is one of the largest employers of labour in Oyo State.
The company has over the years remained committed to adding value to its immediate communities.
