With the homecoming tour, Erica reconnected with her roots as she basked in the splendour of the Igbo culture while the brand deepened its connection and engagement with consumers in the eastern region.

The Nigerian Breweries team, led by the company’s Sales Director, Uche Unigwe, was received warmly at the State Government House in Umuahia. At the courtesy call, Mr. Unigwe expressed gratitude for the continued support of the Abia state government towards Nigerian Breweries’ business operations in the state.

“Since we began our operations in 1957 till date, the Abia State Government has continually provided us with the necessary support required to enable our business to thrive.

When we decided to improve our consumers’ experience with Legend Extra Stout with a smoother taste and give it a modern look, our Aba brewery was where we rolled out the first batch of the all-new Legend. This is why we have come to present this success to your excellency and Abians in appreciation for the hard work we put in together”.

” More so, one of the key messages we are driving with the relaunch is authenticity. This is a virtue that resonates well with the people of Abia state as they are known for their creative ingenuity. This runs true with the commercialization of ‘Made in Aba’ products in Nigeria and overseas.
