THE ROLE OF FOOD ENTREPRENEURS IN REVIVING A DEPRESSED ECONOMY

You will agree with me that this topic could not have come at a better time than now considering the mess we all have found ourselves. I don’t know how your schedule look like between 31st July-4th August, 2017 as all roads lead to KADUNA STATE POLYTECHNICS, KADUNA STATE, NIGERIA where the National Association of Food Science and Technology Students (NAFSTS) of this great citadel of learning will be having their “Annual Food Week” with the theme “THE ROLE OF FOOD ENTREPRENEURS IN REVIVING A DEPRESSED ECONOMY” at the Banquet Hall, Hospitality Management of the Institution.
 
These are the greater tomorrow of this country. The future surely belong to us as food professional. Representatives from the State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, NAFDAC Zonal Officer will be in attendance. And for you to know the importance attached to this program, the wife of the former Vice-President, Mrs. Aisha Sambo had signified her intention to be physically present as one of the successful food entrepreneurs that will be sharing her experiences with us. Equally coming is the Director CST of KADUNA STATE POLYTECHNICS, the Dean, School of Technology, and a host of other dignitaries would be in attendance.
 
Like I said earlier, this event could not have come at a better time than now in our nation history that we are looking at various areas outside the Oil as the main source of revenue to drive the national economy.
