In a regulatory notice filed with the Nigerian Exchange, the quick-service restaurant chain confirmed that Ogidan’s appointment took effect on July 29, 2025.
According to the company, the decision aligns with Tantalizers’ ambition to merge food services with entertainment, creating a dynamic customer experience that resonates with Nigeria’s growing appetite for lifestyle-driven brands.
Chairman of the Board, Adam Nuhu, described the appointment as both strategic and forward-looking, noting that Ogidan’s wealth of experience in creative production and storytelling will play a crucial role in expanding Tantalizers’ entertainment footprint.
“Mr. Ogidan’s addition to the Board reflects our commitment to delivering not just meals but memorable experiences. His expertise will help us scale our experiential and digital entertainment platforms while preserving a brand identity rooted in customer satisfaction and cultural relevance,” Nuhu stated.
