“Olympic Milk is the first of our key brands. Market insight shows that Olympic Milk as an evaporated milk brand leads the economy segment of that market. We have now strengthened the brand as an added-value beverage that consumers can access in various formats,” he said.

Head of Marketing, Nutricima, Mrs. WandeOluwasegunfunmi, added that, “the 500ml ready to drink apple flavoured drink is made from the best quality European apples and is highly refreshing.

Nutricima, the makers of Coast, Nunu, Olympic milk and other nutritious food drinks, said its choice of the award-winning Hip-hop Star is premised on the fact that his qualities perfectly portray the essential goodness offered by the brand including vitality, fitness and health which Olympic milk offers to youths, adults and families in Nigeria.

The deal means a lot not just to me but also to my fans. If a brand isn’t worth it I have nothing to do with such brand. The fact that I am ready to work with this brand is an indication of its top quality.”

“I am not going to sit down and relax. I am set to come up with creative ideas the same way I handle that of P-Square, I will put in 100 and one per cent,” Peter said.
