Welcoming guests to the high octane event, CEO of Laplandia Vodka Nigeria, Henry Uzoma, who currently holds the sole franchise to distribute in Nigeria and Africa, described the Laplandia brand as being on a class of its own because of its originality as it cannot be synthetically copied.
“Laplandia is made in Finland and Finland has the best underground water in the world that has been existing right from the days of the ice age. It goes through this natural purification process, through sand layers under the bedrock and this water, the purity level is what has brought about the very soft and mild feeling you get when you consume this vodka. As far as I am concerned, every human being thrives in nature and this drink is a unique representation of nature,” he said.
On the choice of Nancy Isime as brand ambassador, Uzoma noted that her willingness to work with the brand and insight on how to go about promoting it were values that he was sold to.
