Nestlé Professional Nigeria, a division of the food and beverage company, has collaborated with Wavecrest College of Hospitality in Lagos to help nurture upcoming chefs and hospitality professionals.

Commenting on the collaboration, the Corporate Communications and Public Affairs Manager, Nestlé Nigeria PLC, Victoria Uwadoka, said it is evident that young chefs and hospitality professionals own the future of the food and hospitality industry in Nigeria.

“This collaboration creates an opportunity for Nestlé Professionals to offer food solutions and practical knowledge that will help the students appreciate what is possible with food and nutrition. We will also provide the opportunity to expose them to our world-class facilities,” she said.

Provost of Wavecrest School of Hospitality, Ms Rosana Forsuelo, expressed optimism that the College’s collaboration with the company will enhance the quality of life and a healthier future.

She said: “With the current needs of Nigeria, we must work together to empower the girl-child to gain access to education, employment and economic independence., This is therefore a critical focus area for us at Wavecrest.

“With Nestlé Professional sharing their expertise, world-class facilities and extensive resources, we will be able to enhance the quality of our training to ‘global standards’, develop best practices, and provide relevant skills to the future workforce of Nigeria.”
