The beer brand is a major sponsor of the event.

The 17th edition of the Ofala festival wrapped-up on Monday, 8th October, with a Royal Banquet in honour of Igwe Alfred Achebe who has been on the throne since 2000, at the Dolly Hills Hotel, Onitsha.

With the recent knighting of Hero lager by the Obi of Onitsha as “Mmanya ejiri mara Igbo,” the premium beer brand is seen in the same light as a red cap chief though out the entire South Eastern region in Nigeria. The knighting is a proof of how much Hero lager has repositioned its front and heightened its authority within the region it has been most successful.

Day 2 of the Ofala Festival. The Ndi Ichie and Di Okpa are here to pay homage to the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe.
