Not only did the brand unveil this product, but they also shared free samples with attendees.
Also, there were several vendors serving up different foods and flavours from snacks to full meals and desserts. On another, there were silent disco booths where attendees could enjoy Adekunle Gold’s genre-elevating album, Fuji. There was also a booth just like his album cover, where fans could recreate their own photos with the authentic Fuji aesthetic. On every side of the event, there were different Jollof sampling stations serving up all kinds of mouth-watering Jollof like Asun Jollof, Village Jollof, Suya Jollof and more.
The kiddies weren’t left out. They had a whole section with comfortable seating and interactive games for families, especially those with kids to enjoy. Media personality Taymesan held a live recording with different personalities at the event and engaged the audience with riveting gist about cooking and all things Jollof. There were also several masterclasses by renowned Nigerian Chefs who taught the secrets to their jollof recipes, including Chef Amaka, Chef Dee, and Chef Fregz.
Just when everyone thought the night couldn’t get better, Adekunle Gold himself turned up to give an amazing performance of some of the songs on his hit album, Fuji. Even though the Knorr Jollof Fest 2026 shook up Lagos in the best way, Knorr isn’t stopping the Jollof enjoyment bus. The brand is also taking the celebration to Abuja and Port-Harcourt to share this amazing experience with more Nigerians.
