“It has been a long journey. I thank FoodBay TV because it is the reason we have been able to come this far. It is the reason Lagos State government partnered with them to give this set of youth an opportunity and platform to showcase their talents,” he said.
“In 2025, it will be bigger and better and the ultimate objective is to continue to give our youths a platform and opportunity to excel.”
On his part, the creator of Street Foodz Naija, Oluwafemi Ogundoro, pledged to continue supporting the contestants in growing their businesses.
