The Jevinik Event Centre in Ikeja, Lagos, was abuzz with a sense of purpose and celebration as iGO GLOBAL International Limited hosted its grand “Gratitude Conference and Car Award Ceremony” under the theme “Drive The Dreams: Celebrating Growth and Rewarding Excellence.”
The event served as a powerful platform where the company’s vision for wellness, empowerment, and African pride converged, highlighted by the presentation of SUV vehicles to top-performing brand promoters and bold announcements of continental expansion.
Ambassador Victor Legend Etukinyang, the President and CEO of iGO GLOBAL, set a spiritually and culturally resonant tone for the evening. He opened by attributing the company’s rapid growth since its launch on April 29, 2024, to divine faithfulness, framing the business as a blessed African venture.
Central to his message was a robust defense and promotion of African herbal medicine, which he described as “purely organic and effective for healing and curing all manner of diseases.”
He spotlighted the company’s flagship product, Iroko African Root, emphasizing that it has undergone rigorous scientific and technological processing to ensure efficacy and widespread acceptance. Etukinyang connected this herbal advocacy to a broader civilizational narrative, reminding the audience that “civilizations started in Africa centuries ago.”
He positioned iGO GLOBAL’s mission as one of “exporting Africa to the entire globe” through its products.
As a tangible token of gratitude to those spreading this mission, the company rewarded its top promoters with SUV vehicles, chosen specifically for Nigeria’s challenging road conditions, symbolizing both appreciation and practical support for their work.
Looking ahead, the CEO outlined ambitious plans for pragmatic expansion across Africa, naming Ghana, South Africa, Kenya, and Cameroon as initial targets. He also revealed the company’s diversification into Wellness, Real Estate, Cooperatives, and NGO work, with a future goal of providing affordable housing.
During his address, he critiqued the Bank of Industry (BOI) for not being supportive enough of startups, contrasting Nigeria’s lending conditions with more favorable terms in countries like China.
The event garnered high-level endorsement from Assistant Inspector-General of Police Adegoke Fayoade (in charge of Lagos and Ogun States), who commended iGO GLOBAL for creating jobs and feeding thousands, urging citizens to tap into local opportunities rather than seeking migration.
Also in attendance was Ambassador Badmus Adekunle, CEO of Global Clusters Ltd and a UN Ambassador, who announced a forthcoming 37 Million Youths Digital Literacy Empowerment program set to launch in January 2026, aiming to foster creativity and reduce youth idleness.
The ceremony was graced by spiritual and community figures, including Bishop Theophilus Ugochukwu, and saw awards presented to dignitaries like Major General Buba Marwa (rtd.) and Apostle Felicia Titi Martins of So-Said Charity Homes.
Testimonials from members, such as clearing agent Joseph Onyighia, praised the potency of Iroko African Root, capping an evening that blended celebration, strategy, and a profound belief in Africa’s innate potential.
