    Flour Mills of Nigeria (FMN), a diversified Pan-African consumer-centric food and agro-allied business, celebrates its 65 years of Feeding and Enriching lives Every Day.

    Incorporated on September 29, 1960, as a limited liability company and pioneer wheat miller in Nigeria, FMN started out on a journey as a single flour milling company to what is today one of the biggest brands in the food and agro-allied industry in Africa. 

    As a source of livelihood for millions of Nigerian families, FMN has made strategic investments that drive development across its key value chains of grains, sugar, cassava starch, feeds & protein, edible oil and fats. 

    Through its iconic brand, ‘Golden Penny Foods’, FMN has been providing its consumers with superior quality African brands designed to satisfy their nutritional needs. 

    The company is consistently providing affordable nutrition to its consumers – a commitment that earned it the iconic name “Golden Penny’, which was the smallest unit of Nigeria’s currency, an indication of affordability while superior quality is still guaranteed. From this home of good food emanates excellent nutritional products like diverse flour brands, ball foods (Semovita), pasta, noodles, sweeteners, edible oil, and fats, Chocoh Spreads, breakfast cereal, and other endearing foods. 

    The Group has been unwaveringly committed to value creation through local content development and the drive for the attainment of food self-sufficiency in Nigeria. 

    As part of the 65th-anniversary festivities, FMN has rolled out engaging initiatives that put consumers at the heart of the celebration. A highlight is the FMN Food Photography Challenge, a creative contest inviting Nigerians to showcase their culinary skills and cultural pride using FMN’s popular food brands. Participants across the nation are cooking their favourite Golden Penny recipes and sharing vibrant photographs of these creations. 

    The challenge is sparking excitement nationwide, celebrating the creativity and rich diversity of Nigerian cuisine. In addition to bragging rights, 65 lucky winners will each receive a reward for their inspiring entries, and exceptional submissions may feature in a commemorative FMN 65th Anniversary Food Photobook, celebrating Nigeria’s vibrant food culture.

    Complementing the food challenge is a National Consumer Promotion (NCP) that FMN has launched to reward loyal customers during this anniversary. 

    Through this nationwide promotion, the company is giving back to the consumers who have supported its journey over the years, with participants standing a chance to win exciting prizes and experiences. The NCP serves as a heartfelt “thank you” to millions of families and merchants who have made FMN products a household name, and it underscores the company’s appreciation for the trust and loyalty fostered since 1960.

    A member representing Awe/Doma/Keana federal constituency in the National Assembly, Abubakar Hassan Nalaraba, has disbursed a scholarship grant of N100 million to more than 1,000 indigent students in Nasarawa State to support their education.

    The scholarship scheme launched by the House of Representatives member was targeted at students from poor households studying in various tertiary institutions, to ease their financial struggles in school.

    At the disbursement ceremony in Lafia at the weekend, the Aren Eggon, Justice Ahmed Ubangari Alaku (rtd), called on political leaders to give priority to programmes that reduce poverty and promote educational advancement.

    In a remark, the Aren Eggon, who is the paramount ruler of Eggon nation, stressed the need for leaders to continue investing in programmes that uplift citizens, particularly the less privileged.

    He urged the federal lawmaker and other political leaders to remain committed to interventions that secure the future of underprivileged young people.

    The Chairman of the Scholarship Grants Committee, Professor Amirkpa Oyigbenu, described the intervention as a major boost to the advancement of education.

    On his part, Nalaraba explained that the selection of beneficiaries was carried out transparently to ensure that only students from less privileged homes benefited, regardless of political or religious affiliation.

    Some of the beneficiaries, including Abimiku Salvation and Bushirat Safyanu, said the cash grant of one hundred thousand naira each came at a critical time when they were on the verge of abandoning their studies due to financial constraints.

    The state Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Aliyu Bello, commended the lawmaker for providing what he described as a people-driven representation.
