Episode 34 with Oshione Igwonobe!
Oshione Igwonobe, the CEO of Oaks & Olives Nigeria Limited, is a pioneering force in the ever blooming field of healthy living. Her work as the JuiceLady exemplifies her doggedness and innovation. She began making juices about 8 years ago from her mother’s kitchen after which she has grown the business to 50,000 bottles per annum. The breakthrough period was obtaining the YouWin grant with a number of partners in 2011.
She is driven by a philosophy of ‘A Wholesome Life’ based on the core tenets of Happiness, Friendship, and Good Health. With already the lowest price point in the fresh juice segment, Oshione is constantly in the search of better processes and agricultural inputs that can further reduce the retail prices of fresh juices in Nigeria so that people from all walks of life can easily access fresh juices.
An ardent advocate of developing young ladies in leadership and capacity, Oshione actively maintains a workforce that is 60% female. She is a graduate of Estate Management at the University of Lagos.
