Addressing the participants, Mrs. Funmi Osineye, the head of Nestlé Professional business in Nigeria, said: “This workshop is aligned with our vision to foster economic growth in local communities. Our aim is to equip local food vendors with the essential knowledge and skills to grow and sustain their businesses. We believe that in addition to the practical skills, local entrepreneurs need a supportive environment where they can thrive. We therefore designed the workshop to include networking opportunities where participants can exchange ideas, share their experiences, and build valuable connections within the industry. We are confident that the training today will equip the food vendors, chefs, canteen and restaurants operators as well as the culinary school students to excel in the business of food.”

The live cooking master class conducted by renowned OAP (On-Air Personality) Olushola Folake Mutiat was one of the workshop’s highlights.

Mutiat expertly demonstrated the fundamentals of Wanke, a popular West African dish made from a blend of rice and beans, using the flavorsome combination of Maggi Chicken and Maggi Star seasoning.

The captivating session captivated attendees, providing them with new insights into creating delicious and culturally significant meals.
