A fast-growing restaurant, Amala Ibadan, has expanded its operations, opening another branch in Lagos State a few years after it was established.
The eatery, which started in the Ikotun area of Lagos State, has opened another outlet in the Alagbado area of the aquatic city, giving residents of the area and its environs the opportunity to enjoy quality meals at affordable prices in a neat environment.
Business Post gathered that the new addition was launched on Sunday, October 8, 2023, at 82, AIT Road, By Coca-Cola Bus Stop, Alagbado, Lagos.
The opening of the outlet was witnessed by several persons, including two Nollywood stars, Rotimi Fakunle of The Gang of Lagos fame and Bidemi Kosoko.
It was learned that Amala Ibadan, owned by a broadcast journalist turned politician, Mr Ife Salako, otherwise known as Ifektive, partnered with a famous supermarket, Grocery Bazaar (GB), to open the new restaurant.
Amala Ibadan started its business operations at Nobex Bus Stop, Ikotun-Idimu Road, Lagos, a few years ago, and has grown to become one of the preferred eateries in the area and beyond.
The company boasts a wide range of local delicacies, including its signature amala with gbegiri and ewedu, different varieties of rice and others.
Amala Ibadan, which offers its customers good and healthy food prepared by dedicated chefs and others, has promised to always “tantalize your taste buds.”
Mr Salako left Naija FM to pursue a career in politics.
The graduate of Theatre Arts from the Lagos State University (LASU) contested for a seat in the House of Representatives to represent Alimosho Federal Constituency in 2023 under the Young Progressives Party (YPP). However, he lost to the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Ganiyu Adele Ayuba.
After the exercise, he left YPP to pitch a tent with the Labour Party (LP). He is currently one of the chieftains of the political party in Lagos State.
