Maggi Celebrates Ghanaian Food at Fufu Party
Ghud Park at the Accra Mall was the place to be on Saturday, December 13, as food enthusiasts converged for the Maggi Fufu Party on the Park. The event, a vibrant showcase of Ghanaian cuisine and culture, was organized by Maggi, a Nestlé Ghana brand, in partnership with Aduanipa.
The atmosphere was charged right from the start, with music providing an energetic backdrop as attendees enjoyed food, danced, and socialized. Food vendors did brisk business, serving up steaming dishes to long queues of eager patrons.
A central attraction was the live fufu pounding, with mortars and pestles rhythmically in motion throughout the evening. This was complemented by a lively musical performance that drew a crowd to the stage, transforming the event from a meal into a full-blown celebration.
The Maggi Fufu Party seamlessly blended gastronomy with entertainment. Guests enjoyed dancing and socializing between servings, immersed in the festive environment created by performances on stage.
Speaking to the media, Nestlé Ghana’s Corporate Communication and Public Affairs Manager, Deborah Kwabla, explained the event was a gesture of appreciation towards Maggi consumers. “The inspiration for the fufu party we are all experiencing this afternoon, going into this evening, was basically to say thank you to our consumers,” she said.
She emphasized Maggi’s close ties to Ghanaian cooking. “Wherever there is food, there is Maggi. Maggi has a close association with a lot of Ghanaian cuisines, and today we were here with our partner Aduanipa to bring that Maggi experience to life.”
Ms. Kwabla added that fufu was selected for its unifying qualities, stating, “A lot of us gather around fufu. Different cultures eat fufu, and it is a very common Ghanaian cuisine that brings us together.” She also highlighted the diverse food options available. “But we also acknowledge that not everybody eats fufu, which is why there were other options like waakye, check-check, TZ, spring rolls, samosas, kebabs, and even popcorn, so everyone could find something to eat.”
She further noted all meals were prepared using Maggi products, underscoring the brand’s integral role in Ghanaian households. The 2025 edition of the party, she said, was a way of thanking consumers as the year came to a close and was expected to run until 11 pm. “Maggi looks forward to serving consumers ‘bigger and better’ in the coming year,” she concluded.
Magherita Amon, Brand Manager for Maggi, spoke of the celebration being built on a foundation of trust and generational connections. “Maggi is a trusted brand. It is the brand we have known from our grandmothers to our mothers, and now it has been passed on to us,” she said.
Ms. Amon reiterated the strong association between food and Maggi. “This season is about celebration, and Maggi and food go hand in hand. Anywhere there is food, there is Maggi,” she added. She also highlighted the significance of the partnership with Aduanipa, a trusted food operator, strengthening their bond and contributing to the success of the event. “We were all here to have fun, celebrate, and enjoy to the max.”
