Rauf Olaniyan, Lekan Alabi Grace Launch of Smartees Vitality Oil Depot in Ibadan

Former Oyo State Deputy Governor, Engr. Aderemi Olaniyan, and the Maye Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oloye Lekan Alabi, were among the dignitaries present on Saturday as Tammy and Timmy Foods commissioned a new depot for its flagship product, Smartees Vitality vegetable oil.

The event, held in Ibadan, also doubled as a birthday celebration for the company’s founder, Adeogun Tunrayo Moslemat.

Cutting the ribbon to formally open the facility, Oloye Alabi praised the celebrant for her achievements and character.

“A few weeks ago, His Excellency reminded me that we were somewhere seven years ago and I was surprised he remembers. It’s the same way everything we do today will be history tomorrow. And history never forgets,” he said.

The veteran journalist and member of the Olubadan-in-Council also commended Tammy and Timmy Foods for maintaining high standards in their product range.

“I am not saying this to advertise her product for her because she did not even send me to do that. But the truth is that she only sells quality stuffs. Her vegetable oil products, for instance, are free of cholesterol,” he added.

In her address, Adeogun explained that the new facility was launched to make quality vegetable oil available to consumers at affordable prices.

“The assumption is that vegetable oil products called ‘aburo’ are substandard but that’s not true. It’s the same product they called imported that you’ll find in what they call ‘aburo’. The only difference is the packaging. It’s why we are doing this.

Smatees Vitality is here to show us that you can get quality oil at an affordable rate. Our vegetable oil product is coming from a dispenser that is of top quality and is in tandem with NAFDAC’s standard,” she stated.

She further highlighted that the product’s recyclable packaging makes it more environmentally friendly than imported alternatives.

Also present at the event were the Deputy Chief of Staff to Oyo state governor, Hon Kazeem Adeyinka Adeniyi Bibire; a gubernatorial hopeful, Chief Taofeeq Adegboyega; Mr Kunle Busari and members of ATM Foundation.
