The Bigi carbonated soft drink brand, produced by Rite Foods, has again demonstrated its support for the growth of the Nigerian movie industry with the sponsorship of the Progressive Tailors Club movie premiere.

He said the leading soft drink brand had contributed immensely to talent development and the entertainment industry by taking it to an enviable height.
