He explained that the initiative aligns with the company’s vision of using sports as a platform for youth empowerment, education, and community development—an extension of its brand philosophy, “Creating Unforgettable Food Moments.”
According to him, the mission of Johnvents has always been to nourish lives and invest in the future of the communities it serves.
“Sports provide a unique opportunity to do both—shaping the minds, discipline, and character of young people who will lead tomorrow. For us, Creating Unforgettable Food Moments goes beyond products; it’s about creating real impact that lasts,” Aramide-Atolagbe added.
As part of its commitment, Aramide-Atolagbe noted that Johnvents Foods will provide participating schools with sports kits, materials, and nutritional support to ensure that every stage of the competition benefits students both on and off the field.
The Johnvents Apex League is powered by Johnvents 3-in-1 Chocolate, the company’s flagship beverage brand known for its promise of “Instant Goodness.”
Earlier, the Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Prof. Igbekele Ajibefun, who attended the launch, commended Johnvents Foods Limited for the initiative.
He described the competition as a timely contribution to youth development and education in Ondo State.
“Education goes beyond the classroom. What Johnvents Foods is doing connects learning, discipline, and passion in a way that develops well-rounded students. By investing in these young minds, Johnvents is helping to raise future leaders who can excel both academically and personally c the Commissioner said.
