My experience at GTCo Food and Drinks Festival –Juliana Ogunsolu

By Rita Okoye

The GTCO Food and Drink Festival, a vibrant celebration of culinary delights, recently took place in Lagos, attracting food enthusiasts, vendors, and industry experts alike. 

Among the array of vendors, Juliana Kanyinsola Ogunsolu, the founder of ThatOfadaGirl Limited, shared her thoughts on the event and her brands participation.

“I love the vibrant atmosphere at the GT Food and Drinks event. It gave us the perfect opportunity to showcase our delicious foods and drinks,” she told Sunday Sun.

When asked if the outing was successful, Julianas response was unequivocal. “Absolutely, it was a successful outing for us,” she said. “We connected with new customers, received positive feedback, and saw increased sales.”

However, Juliana also had a suggestion for improvement. “It would be great if they could provide more shaded areas for vendors and attendees to escape the sun during the event,” she said.

Participating in events like the GT Food and Drinks Event not only benefits vendors like Juliana but also plays a significant role in the countrys economy. “It contributes to the local economy by generating revenue for vendors, promoting local businesses, and attracting visitors, which in turn stimulates spending in the area,” Juliana said, adding that her corporate brand, ThatOfadaGirl Limited, specializes in authentic Nigerian cuisine, particularly its signature Ofada rice dishes. “Weve been in the food business for over five years, striving to deliver quality and taste in every bite.”

In a lighthearted moment, Juliana revealed which celebrity she would love to see try her Ofada rice. “It would be an honour to have Davido or Tiwa Savage try our Ofada. Their influence could introduce our cuisine to a wider audience.”
