Checkers Africa Ltd has officially entered Nigeria\u2019s chocolate-drink market with the debut of Checkers Choco Tee<\/strong>, a 3-in-1 cocoa, milk, malt, and sugar blend priced at \u20a6180<\/strong>. The unveiling took place at a lively Friday event, signalling the company\u2019s next move in Nigeria\u2019s fast-growing breakfast segment.<\/p>\n

From Custard Legacy to Cocoa Innovation<\/h3>\n

Managing Director Karan Checker<\/strong> said the idea grew from the success of Checkers Custard, long a staple on Nigerian breakfast tables. \u201cWe saw a clear gap,\u201d he explained. \u201cOur goal is to give Nigerians a high-quality product at a very affordable price, letting consumers decide between our drink and the rest of the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

The recipe, perfected over six to eight months<\/strong>, uses premium raw materials and is fortified with essential vitamins and minerals.<\/p>\n
