Also speaking at the event, Head Marketing Operations for The Big Bottling Company (Producers of Big Cola), Perpetual Ohiri expressed her delight “Africa Day is symbolic, as it the day that commemorates the founding of the Organisation of African Unity (25th May 1963) now known as the African Union.
