Maltina Uses Science to Redefine the Power of Nutrition

Nigeria’s flagship malt drink, Maltina, has unveiled a landmark Special Edition of its nationwide Nourishment Tour, scheduled for May 26, 2026. The event is part of the brand’s effort to nourish one million young minds across the country.

The Special Edition will bring together 50 schools, making it the largest single activation of the tour to date. It marks a new chapter in a movement that seeks to reshape how Nigeria’s next generation perceives nutrition, science, and learning.

By gathering thousands of students in one of the tour’s biggest editions yet, Maltina reaffirms its commitment to helping young Nigerians understand the link between nourishment, science, learning, and development.

Central to the initiative is a growing concern about how children today view nutrition. In many communities, misinformation persists, with many children believing that vitamins and nutrients come mainly from pharmacy shelves rather than from the foods and drinks they consume daily. Moreover, most schools lack practical, hands‑on science education, leaving children with little opportunity to experience the science behind nourishment. The Nourishment Tour aims to close both gaps.

Through the tour, Maltina is redefining the power of nourishment through science. Students will step into a world of discovery, participating in guided STEM experiments and collaborative activities that make nutrition education tangible, memorable, and exciting. By demonstrating the science behind what they eat and drink, the tour turns abstract concepts into lived experience, helping young Nigerians see how proper nourishment fuels clear thinking, sustained energy, active learning, and overall growth.

This milestone arrives as Maltina celebrates 50 years of nourishing generations of Nigerians—a half‑century built on the belief that true happiness must be nourished. The Special Edition is the most visible expression yet of Maltina’s evolution: from providing nourishment to shaping nutrition education and building a lasting legacy of healthier, smarter young minds.

Speaking about the upcoming event, Elohor Olumide‑Awe, Head of the Non‑Alcoholic Portfolio at Nigerian Breweries Plc, said, “Across Nigeria, there are two gaps we are determined to close. The first is the nourishment gap—children who don’t yet understand that the vitamins and nutrients their bodies need come from what they eat and drink every day, not from a pharmacy shelf. The second is the science gap—the reality that most children never get to experience learning through doing. The Maltina Nourishment Tour Special Edition brings our answer to both. By using hands‑on STEM experiments to teach the science of nourishment, we are making nutrition education practical, engaging, and real—sparking the kind of curiosity that changes how children think, learn, and make choices for life. This is what Maltina has always stood for: nourishment that goes beyond the functional to support the emotional, mental, and physical well‑being of every young Nigerian. As we mark 50 years, we are not just celebrating a legacy—we are building one, nourishing minds and sharing happiness at a scale that will be felt for generations to come.”

As anticipation builds, schools, educators, parents, and communities across the country continue to engage with the movement, reinforcing Maltina’s role as a brand committed to meaningful nourishment, learning, and youth development on a large scale.
