Royco Invites You to Celebrate the True Meaning of Home This Ramadan

As Muslims across Nigeria embark on the sacred journey of Ramadan, Royco—the seasoning that enriches every meal with flavour and warmth—invites Nigerians to rediscover the true meaning of Home through its ‘Together is Home’ campaign. This initiative embodies the essence of the holy month: unity, generosity, and the shared joy of breaking fast together during Iftar.
Together is Home seeks to reinforce the idea that whether it’s giving food to the poor, or sharing meals with friends and family at Iftar, the season is best enjoyed together, and as long as we are together, anywhere can feel like home.

To bring this vision to life, Royco will host Iftar gatherings in communities and mosques across Kano, Jos and Maiduguri, ensuring that as many people as possible feel the warmth of Home through shared meals.
Food has always been a symbol of love, hospitality, and togetherness. During Ramadan, it takes on an even deeper meaning—becoming a bridge that unites hearts and strengthens faith. Royco understands that a meal prepared with love and shared with others is an expression of care, devotion, and community.
Beyond fasting, Ramadan is a season of deep spiritual reflection, self-discipline, and community. This Ramadan, Royco reminds us that Home is not just a physical space but the bonds we create with those around us.
