NESCAFÉ Expands On-the-Go Experience with New Kiosk at Ojo Bus Terminal, Ibadan
Ibadan, Oyo State: Before dawn breaks at Ojo Bus Terminal, engines roar to life and the day’s journeys begin. Commuters move with urgency, drivers prepare for long hours behind the wheel, and traders set the tone for business. It is within this daily rhythm of resilience and ambition that NESCAFÉ is strengthening its everyday presence.
As one of Nigeria’s leading coffee brands, NESCAFÉ has launched a new kiosk at Ojo Bus Terminal in Ibadan, bringing its signature blend closer to commuters, drivers and traders who power the city’s mornings. The initiative reinforces the brand’s promise of helping Nigerians “start strong and finish strong,” even while on the move.

Across Nigeria, mornings often begin in transit — at bus parks, markets and busy commercial hubs where opportunity meets determination. By situating a kiosk within the terminal, NESCAFÉ is embedding itself directly into the pulse of daily life, offering convenient access to quality coffee without disrupting the pace of travel.
“Having NESCAFÉ available right here in the terminal has added real value to the daily experience of commuters and operators,” said Adisa Olumide, Manager at the Bus Terminal. “Passengers can now enjoy quality coffee just steps from their departure points. The response has been positive, particularly regarding the rich taste and quick service that matches the fast-paced environment.”
For Nestlé Professional, the Ojo Bus Terminal kiosk represents more than a new retail point — it is an extension of the brand’s long-standing presence in homes, workplaces and communities nationwide.
“This initiative reflects our commitment to delivering quality beverage solutions to Nigerians wherever they are — even on the go,” said Ibraheem Awelenje, Nestlé Professional Channels Manager. “NESCAFÉ has always been about empowering strong starts, and this activation deepens that connection in a meaningful and accessible way.”
The kiosk currently offers NESCAFÉ 3-in-1 Original and NESCAFÉ Classic, with plans to introduce MILO to broaden its appeal within the surrounding community. All operations adhere strictly to Nestlé Professional’s food safety and hygiene standards.
“This launch highlights how NESCAFÉ continues to strengthen its footprint in high-traffic, everyday locations,” added Jean-Pierre Duplan, Category Manager for Coffee. “By bringing the brand closer to Nigerians with busy routines, we are reinforcing our commitment to energizing their mornings and supporting their daily ambitions.”
Beyond convenience, the kiosk also reflects Nestlé’s ongoing commitment to entrepreneurship through its My Own Business (MYOWBU) scheme. Operated by a local entrepreneur who has been part of the MYOWBU ecosystem for over a decade, the initiative has created two direct jobs — an operator and an attendant — with continuous training in hygiene practices and business management.
“After ten years as an attendant, my dedication has grown into ownership through the NESCAFÉ kiosk initiative,” said the kiosk operator. “This is more than a business for me; it is a new chapter.”
Sustainability remains integral to operations. The kiosk uses recyclable cups and promotes responsible waste management practices, encouraging both operators and customers to support a cleaner environment.
At Ojo Bus Terminal, where journeys begin long before sunrise, NESCAFÉ is doing more than serving coffee. It is fuelling the energy, resilience and ambition that define Nigeria’s mornings — one cup at a time.
