TGI Group offers free Terra Gold seasoning with every qualifying purchase, aiming to boost brand loyalty amid tough economy
Golden Terra Oil has unveiled its nationwide ‘Get Gold’ promotional campaign in Lagos, starting 12 June 2026, offering free Terra Gold seasoning packs to consumers with every qualifying purchase of Golden Terra Oil. The initiative, introduced by TGI Group, seeks to reward loyal customers and attract value-conscious shoppers across Nigeria at a time when families are prioritising quality and affordability in their cooking essentials.
The promo, which is available in stores nationwide, provides an additional incentive for consumers who already trust the Golden Terra brand for its purity and nutritional value. By combining Golden Terra Oil with the popular Terra Gold seasoning in a single offer, TGI Group aims to enhance everyday meals while giving back to their customer base.
Chief Marketing Officer of TGI Group, Probal Bhattacharya, said during the launch that the ‘Get Gold’ promo was conceived as a way to appreciate Nigerian families who continue to choose Golden Terra Oil despite economic pressures. “The Get Gold Promo is an exclusive offer to our well-deserving consumers who choose Golden Terra Oil. Every consumer deserves more, and this promo is our way of saying thank you for the trust they place in our brand,” Bhattacharya stated at a press briefing.
He added that TGI Group recognises the challenges faced by households due to rising food costs and is committed to not only maintaining product quality but also delivering added value. “We understand the realities of today’s economy, and we remain committed to delivering not only quality products but also added value that makes a meaningful difference in our consumers’ everyday lives. Through this initiative, we are rewarding loyalty while bringing together the purity of Golden Terra Oil and the great taste of Terra Gold in one exciting offer,” Bhattacharya explained.
The company says the promo will run while stocks last, with plans to monitor consumer response before considering future reward programmes. Industry observers note that such initiatives are likely to boost market competition within Nigeria’s fast-moving consumer goods sector as brands seek new ways to retain their customer base amidst fluctuating disposable incomes.

One suspect hospitalised after attempted escape as police recover stolen electric cables along Ibabu–Ugiliamai Road
Operatives of the Delta State Police Command have arrested two individuals suspected of vandalising electric cables in Ndokwa West Local Government Area on Tuesday, 25 June. The suspects were apprehended around 10:30pm along the Ibabu–Ugiliamai Road following a joint operation involving officers from Kwale Police Station and members of the local vigilante group.
According to a statement issued by Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, the security team acted swiftly on credible intelligence that some persons were removing and stealing electric cables in the area. Upon sighting law enforcement, the suspects attempted to flee the scene, resulting in one of them sustaining injuries during the pursuit. The injured suspect is currently receiving medical attention, while the other is in police custody.
Cable vandalism has become a significant concern in Delta State and across Nigeria, often leading to prolonged power outages and financial losses for communities. The state government has repeatedly called for increased vigilance by residents and closer collaboration with security agencies to combat such crimes.
SP Edafe stated that investigations are ongoing to determine if other individuals are involved in the syndicate. “We urge members of the public to continue providing timely information that can help us protect public infrastructure,” Edafe said in Thursday’s press release.
The police command assured residents that efforts will be intensified to prevent further incidents of cable theft in Ndokwa West and neighbouring communities. Authorities also reminded residents that anyone found engaging in vandalism or aiding such activities would face prosecution according to Nigerian law.

Trump Claims US Military Strikes in Borno Prevented Mass Killing of Christians by ISWAP
Former US president says American intervention curbed attacks; Nigerian government yet to issue official response
Former US president says American intervention curbed attacks; Nigerian government yet to issue official response
Former United States President Donald Trump has stated that military strikes authorised by his administration in Borno State helped prevent the mass killing of Christians by militants linked to Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP). Trump made this assertion on Friday during an event held in Washington, where he defended his decision to target terrorist groups operating in Nigeria’s North-East region.
According to Trump, the US military operations significantly reduced attacks on Christian communities in Borno and neighbouring states, which had been facing repeated assaults from ISWAP fighters. He said, “As you know, we recently struck Nigeria and largely ended the slaughter of great Christian populations. They have a great Christian population. They were being butchered—thousands and thousands of people were being killed, children, women, old people, just being slaughtered, hacked to death.”
Trump added that the American intervention sent a strong warning to the militants responsible for these attacks. He claimed the strikes discouraged further violence against religious minorities in the region. The former president did not provide specific details regarding the timing or scale of the US operations referenced.
The Nigerian government and security agencies are yet to release any official statement confirming the reported strikes or commenting on Trump’s claims as at press time. In previous years, Borno State and other parts of North-East Nigeria have witnessed repeated attacks targeting both Muslim and Christian communities by various armed groups, including ISWAP and Boko Haram.
Security analysts say international military cooperation is often conducted discreetly and that foreign involvement in counter-insurgency operations can carry both diplomatic and security implications for Nigeria. The opposition could not be immediately reached for comment regarding Trump’s statements.
