Tantalizers Plc announced it has acquired Grand Media Projects Limited, an entertainment company founded by TV and film veteran Tade Ogidan.

This was disclosed in a statement signed by the company’s secretary, Olamide Babawale-Mo via NGX on Saturday.

According to the statement, this acquisition will enable Tantalizers Plc to diversify beyond the food industry and expand into the entertainment and digital content development sectors.

Commenting, Tantalizers stated, “As Nigeria’s entertainment industry gains increasing global recognition, this acquisition marks an important step toward expanding the company’s reach and positioning it for future growth.”

This follows a series of acquisitions starting in the fourth quarter of 2024, including the purchase of Apapa-based DanBethel Marine and 10 fully equipped fishing trawlers from U.S.-based Quinn Fisheries and Harvester Fishing.

Tantalizers Plc Chairman, Alhaji Adam Nuru, highlighted the growing convergence of food and entertainment, “Our acquisition of Tade Ogidan’s Grand Media marks a bold leap into content development, branded experiences, and event activation. The increasing overlap between food, lifestyle, and entertainment presents a tremendous opportunity for us to deliver significant value to our brand and stakeholders.”

Meanwhile, the Chairman of Grand Media, Tade Ogidan, expressed joy in the acquisition, saying, “We’re thrilled about the creative possibilities this acquisition unlocks. We’re confident it will create lasting value for Nigerians and the world at large.”

He also expressed his expectations for the future, stating, “Tantalizers’ tech-driven entertainment platform is a forward-thinking initiative that will be a game changer in the industry.”

In March 2025, Tantalizers Plc announced a partnership with U.S.-based Quinn Fisheries and Harvester Fishing to acquire 10 fully equipped fishing trawlers.

The company stated that this initiative was aimed at exploring opportunities within Nigeria’s blue economy and expanding into new sectors.
