A small-scale grocery seller from Plateau State, Ejiofor Akujieze<\/strong>, has emerged as the grand prize winner of \u20a65 million<\/strong> in the Golden Morn Golden Hunt, a nationwide consumer campaign organised by Nestl\u00e9 Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The campaign rewarded Nigerians with a total of \u20a680 million in cash and prizes<\/strong>, attracting more than 200,000 entries<\/strong> from consumers across the country.<\/p>\n

Akujieze, who said he was surprised by the win, described the prize as a life-changing opportunity.<\/p>\n

\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.<\/p>\n

According to him, the money will be used to expand his grocery business.<\/p>\n

The Golden Morn Golden Hunt began in January 2026 and was designed around Golden Morn\u2019s smaller and more affordable pack sizes, allowing more consumers to participate.<\/p>\n

Following seven draws, a total of 16,324 winners<\/strong> emerged. The winners received cash prizes ranging from \u20a610,000 to \u20a61 million<\/strong>, as well as airtime and other prizes including washing machines, MacBooks, iPhones and 55-inch televisions.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the campaign, Omofasa Orhiunu, Category Manager, Healthy Cereals at Nestl\u00e9 Nigeria<\/strong>, said the initiative was designed to strengthen the brand\u2019s relationship with consumers while giving more Nigerians an opportunity to enjoy Golden Morn.<\/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.<\/p>\n

He added that the campaign provided both existing and new consumers with an opportunity to enjoy the product while also receiving rewards through a simple and accessible process.<\/p>\n

Wassim Elhusseini, Managing Director and CEO of Nestl\u00e9 Nigeria Plc<\/strong>, said the campaign was part of the company\u2019s efforts to create 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.<\/p>\n

Elhusseini said the Golden Hunt was Nestl\u00e9\u2019s way of recognising that trust and giving back to consumers in a meaningful and inclusive manner.<\/p>\n

He noted that the personal stories behind the winning moments were particularly encouraging, as the rewards were making a difference in the lives of consumers.<\/p>\n

Golden Morn remains one of Nestl\u00e9 Nigeria\u2019s long-standing homegrown brands, providing nourishment through carefully selected grains and its Grain Smart blend, which contains essential vitamins and minerals.<\/p>\n

Nestl\u00e9 Nigeria said initiatives such as the Golden Morn Golden Hunt are part of its efforts to strengthen its relationship with consumers, provide accessible and nutritious food products and support communities across Nigeria.<\/p>\n
