WINNERS of Peak 456 talent hunt competitio­n have emerged. They are Imisi Oladapo (6), Sharon Jonathan (5) and Eze Chineweken­e Vanessa (5) in first, second and third positions. Winners were selected through an online voting process on the brand’s Instagram page.

The competitio­n, which ran from Tuesday, July 4 through Friday, August 11, saw interested parents upload videos of their 4-6 year olds displaying amazing talent on the Peak 456 Facebook page as entries for the competitio­n.

Speaking at the grand prize presentati­on to the winners, the Brand Manager, Peak 456 Growing Up Milk, Akon Imoh, spoke on the need for parents to support continuous growth and developmen­t of their children by ensuring their children receive the right nutrients from their early years.

“Peak 456 Growing Up Milk is committed to supporting children’s growth and developmen­t. The talent hunt contest was our way of encouragin­g parents and guardians to nurture their children’s full potential by recognizin­g and devel- oping them from their early years,” Imoh said.

Mrs. Oladapo, mother of the first prize winner, commended the Peak 456 brand for promoting the need for specialize­d nutrition for the Nigerian child, while noting that her child is being positioned and empowered through the award of the scholarshi­p.

Dr. Gbemisola Boyede, a Neuro-developmen­tal pediatrici­an at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), in her remark noted that the need for the right nutrition has been emphasized in various fora.

“Age 0-5 years is a period of rapid growth and developmen­t of the brain. As such, the macro-nutrients and micronutri­ents given to children at this stage are critical to their healthy cognitive, emotional and physical growth,” said Boyede.

She noted that Frieslandc­ampina WAMCO producers of Peak 456 Growing Up Milk in August emphasized the need to provide specialize­d nutrition containing glucose, protein, Vitamin C, and DHA for children early in life, as it would help shape the rest of their lives.
