AN AFRICAN catering business and restaurant celebrated its 10th anniversary in Coventry this week by opening a second eatery in the city.

AGG World Limited director Akintoye Giwa said he was excited about continuing to provide high-quality food, employment and community development for the people of Coventry via another outlet.

He said the business strove to be at the centre of the Coventry community and he thanked the city council for the grants which helped the business during the Covid pandemic.

A free dinner was served for NHS doctors and nurses and an Islamic Youth Forum has taken place.
On Saturday, November 12, there is a friends and family event with a football tournament and on Sunday, November 13, there will be a Thanksgiving Service and official dedication.
