Nigerian Breweries Plc has initiated a nationwide campaign, 'Together, Every Moment,' to mark its 80th anniversary. The company is inviting Nigerians to share photographs and videos that capture moments showing how Nigerian Breweries has been part of their lives, businesses, and communities over the last eight decades. This campaign aims to create a living archive of moments, people, businesses, livelihoods, and experiences that have intersected with Nigerian Breweries over 80 years.

Since its incorporation in 1946, Nigerian Breweries has grown alongside Nigeria, becoming part of homes, businesses, communities, celebrations, cultural experiences, and everyday moments across generations. The company's journey has been shaped by farmers, distributors, retailers, suppliers, entrepreneurs, transporters, employees, and host communities whose livelihoods have grown alongside the company over the decades.

Thibaut Boidin, Managing Director/CEO of Nigerian Breweries Plc, emphasized that the 80th anniversary is an opportunity to celebrate Nigerians who have shaped the company's story. He said that for 80 years, Nigerians have welcomed Nigerian Breweries' brands into their celebrations, friendships, traditions, businesses, and everyday lives. Boidin stated that the company wants to see photographs, videos, and memories that tell the story from the perspective of Nigerians.

As part of the campaign, 80 memories will be selected, with each winner receiving 1 million naira, alongside other prizes. Selected stories will be featured across the NB@80 campaign, including films, editorial features, social media, outdoor displays, anniversary experiences, and the company's commemorative archive. This will provide a national stage for Nigerians to share their moments and experiences with Nigerian Breweries.

The National Story Collection is a key aspect of the anniversary celebration, allowing Nigerians to share their connections with the company. The submissions will create a living archive of moments, people, businesses, livelihoods, and experiences that have intersected with Nigerian Breweries over 80 years. This archive will serve as a testament to the company's impact on Nigerian lives and communities.

Beyond the National Story Collection, Nigerian Breweries Plc will anchor a wider anniversary program spanning consumer participation, films, media storytelling, cultural experiences, and commemorative events. This program will celebrate the people and shared moments that have shaped Nigerian Breweries' 80-year journey. The company is committed to making the anniversary celebration a memorable one for Nigerians.
