Marketing Director Nigerian Breweries Plc, Walter Drenth had during the course of the auditions, expressed great satisfaction over the huge turn-out of Fuji lovers and artistes. While explaining the rationale behind Goldberg’s Fuji T’o Bam initiative, he said, “Goldberg is a quality lager beer that celebrates consumers and their traditional values. Fuji music enjoys huge followership across Nigeria which has led the brand to provide the Fuji T’o Bam competition as one of the platforms to further engage and connect with our consumers.”

He also added that the programme was a worthwhile event. “The Goldberg brand believes that many parts of the country are endowed with talents in music yet to be discovered; and I believe that as the talent hunt contest moves to other locations, Fuji to Bam will discover more Fuji talents that will become great music icons like KWAM1, Pasuma, Saheed Osupa and others”.
