“Our vision is to transform everyday spaces into extraordinary experiences,” said Dr. Lami Ahmed, the sole representative of Utopia Bath and Kitchen in Nigeria.

 “Being recognized as the top exhibitor at AIHS is a reflection of our commitment to excellence, innovation, and meeting the evolving needs of our customers.”

Amina Muhammed, the General Manager of Utopia Bath and Kitchen, Nigeria said the brand was so excited to be exhibiting at this year's AHIS, adding that visitors to Utopia’s booth were sure to have an unforgettable experience.

Mobin Mohammed, Utopia’s Business Development Manger urged customers to visit the company's showroom at Wildot plaza, plot 903, obafemi awolowo way, Utako District, Abuja.

He noted that Utopia Bath and Kitchen is a leading manufacturer of complete bathroom solutions with its entire range manufactured under the strict norms of WRAS of the UK and a comprehensive guarantee provided on all its products.

"Thanks to Dr Lami Ahmed who brought the brand into Nigeria in 2022, this has been our first franchise showroom and right now, we are building about three other showrooms in the country in Enugu, Port Harcourt and Lagos.

"We offer a lifetime warranty on our products. For instance, on the ceramics, we offer 25 years warranty and on the tapware, we offer 12 years warranty," he said.

Industry experts praised Utopia’s products for their elegant design, durability, and eco-conscious features. 

Joy Sani, CEO of Joytivity Studio and an interior designer said the Utopia Bath and Kitchen brand was 

"I personally like to go with brands like this when it comes to bathroom fittings because you are sure that is a brand you can trust.

"If you are buying from the open market, you can't really trust consistency. For instance, when you buy the plumbing fittings, it's not just about the esthetics.

"You have esthetic products like these that are three times cheaper, but when it comes to flushing systems, that is when you will know how good and qualitative the Utopia Bath and Kitchen brand really is.

"Some of the other products in the open market always tend to ware off and change colour over time, but when you go with a brand such as Utopia which I have personally used before and can trust, then you will always want to stick with it.

"It's also very easy to trust them when embarking on hotel projects; you can do a sample room with the Utopia brand to show your clients.

"Yes, their products might be more expensive than the open market, but you can be rest assured that you are buying quality.

"I don't think things like plumbing is where you should gamble or try to play "pennywise pound foolish" with, especially when it comes to basic products like these.

"You can try to save money over products like railwater shower and the likes, but when it comes to flushing systems, you want to go with conceal which is very good because you don't want to be doing maintenance all the time.

"So, I personally feel one should go for something worth it and a brand like Utopia will be a better choice and interestingly, they are also based here in Nigeria," she said.

David Chukwuemeka, one of the visitors at the exhibition who visited the Utopia Booth expressed delight at ...

"I stopped over at the Utopia Bath and Kitchen booth and was wowed and blown away with some of the quality of products I saw here at the AHIS Exhibition.

"I was particularly impressed with the 12 year warranty period on the products, which goes to show you that the materials and fittings we have seen here have met the necessary standards and requirements that we expect from such reputable manfacturers.

"I am definitely looking forward to visiting their showroom in Utako to buy some of their products," he said.


The company’s use of locally sourced materials and focus on energy efficiency also earned commendations from environmental advocates at the event.

In addition to product displays, Utopia Bath and Kitchen hosted workshops and panel sessions on trends in home design and sustainable architecture, further reinforcing its role as a thought leader in the industry.

Inside Naima Kitchen: Saudi-Born Nigerian’s Culinary Hub Serves Nigerian Pilgrims in Makkah

By Nura Ahmad 

A Saudi-born Nigerian entrepreneur, Almu’allim Nuh Idris Saleh Alfallata, has opened his doors to the media, offering a rare glimpse into the operations of Naima Kitchen, a food service facility catering to thousands of Nigerian pilgrims and other international clients during the Hajj season in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.


Established over a decade ago under Daam Almawasem Company, Naima Kitchen has grown to become a key player in Hajj catering services, this year securing contracts to feed pilgrims from six Nigerian states—Kano, Plateau, Jigawa, Niger, Adamawa, and Taraba—during the 2025 Hajj exercise.


Speaking during the media tour, Alfallata, who was born and raised in Makkah to Nigerian parents, said the kitchen’s services extend beyond Nigerian contingents. “We also serve pilgrims from countries such as Ghana, Egypt, Guinea, and India,” he said.


On the day of the visit, the kitchen was preparing a menu that included Jollof rice with chicken and fruits, as well as Semovita with Miyan Kuka—carefully selected to align with the dietary preferences of Nigerian pilgrims from different regions.


Journalists were taken on a guided tour of the facility, which featured several operational zones. These included a fully stocked food store containing essential ingredients like Indian rice, Myanmar beans, and Nigerian palm oil. Another highlight was the cold storage rooms, operating at -15 degrees Celsius, where frozen items such as meat, poultry, eggs, and beverages were kept.


The team also visited the fresh produce section where tomatoes, onions, and peppers were being processed for use in upcoming meals. In the cooking area, staff were seen actively preparing and packaging meals, under the supervision of the company’s chief dietitian, to ensure full compliance with health regulations laid down by the Saudi Ministry of Health.


Operational staff at the kitchen expressed satisfaction with their working conditions. Abdul’azee and Abdul Rahman, two staff members, commended the founder for prompt payment of salaries and providing a supportive work environment.


The tour concluded at the dispatch area, where neatly packaged meals were being loaded into delivery trucks for distribution to pilgrims’ accommodations across Makkah.
