The company described the appointment as a strategic move to deepen its transition into a foodtainment conglomerate — a fusion of food services and entertainment — by leveraging Ogidan’s extensive creative experience in film, television, and media production.
Ogidan, a multiple award-winning director and creative entrepreneur, is renowned for his work on some of Nigeria’s most notable movies and TV productions, including Gold Statue, Madam Dearest, Family on Fire, Diamond Ring, Dangerous Twins, Hostages, Owo-Blow, Out of Bounds, and Raging Storm.

His projects have been showcased on leading television networks across Africa and globally, and are featured on international streaming platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors, Adam Nuhu, said Ogidan’s appointment underscores Tantalizers’ strategic vision.
“Mr. Ogidan’s appointment reflects our commitment to redefining how food and entertainment converge in Africa. His creative genius will be instrumental in scaling our experiential and digital entertainment platforms while reinforcing our customer-centric and culturally resonant brand,” he stated.
The appointment comes as Tantalizers, through its subsidiary Grand Media Projects Limited, intensifies investments in original television content, live experiences, and digital assets as part of its foodtainment vision.
The Board and Management of Tantalizers Plc welcomed Ogidan and expressed confidence in his capacity to add value to the company’s growth strategy and brand ecosystem.
