Gifty Antwi, a baker based in Kasoa, and Apprey, a mother from Apprey, were announced as the grand prize winners of Nestlé NIDO’s third Obaatanpa Mo promotion, securing an all‑expenses‑paid family vacation to the tropical island of São Tomé and a £300 spending stipend each. The winners were selected from more than 400,000 entries submitted during the nationwide campaign that ran from May to July 2026.
Following the ceremony, emotional Apprey told reporters that she could not express her family's joy at being selected out of more than 400,000 entries. The event, supervised by the National Lottery Authority through weekly mini‑draws, rewarded over 39,000 consumers with various prizes before the grand finale.
Hosted by popular media personality Naa Ashorkor Mensah‑Doku, the colourful finale celebrated mothers who form the bedrock of Ghanaian households. In addition to the island getaway, high‑performing participants walked away with substantial packages, including five bicycles, five Lenovo educational tablets, and cash prizes reaching up to GH¢5,000. Participant Bridget Hewton received a headline GH¢25,000 Educational Scholarship to support future leaders.
Addressing attendees, Kwabena Asiedu Adarkwa, Category Manager for Nutrition and Dairy at Nestlé Ghana Limited, emphasised that receiving over 400,000 entries demonstrates how extraordinarily deep the bond between NIDO and Ghanaian families runs. Myron Otoo, Category Manager for Beverages and Dairy, echoed these sentiments, describing the initiative as a fitting tribute to mothers who dedicate their lives to nurturing the next generation.
Reinforcing the brand’s mission, Jacqueline Baffuor Gyawu, Category Development Manager for NIDO Ghana, stated that the promotion goes beyond typical marketing to build genuine human connections with local communities. The ceremony concluded on a high note with joyful testimonies from beneficiaries, highlighting the direct impact of the initiative on everyday Ghanaian homes.
With the promotion now complete, Nestlé Ghana looks forward to continuing its support for families across the country, celebrating the vital role mothers play in shaping the next generation.
