The Founder and Managing Director of Food Dotors, Awesu Joseph Temitope has revealed that he loves to save life which was why he opted to study medicine but not lucky enough with University admission, he later settled for Lagos State Polytechnic, Ikorodu in 2008 to study Food Science & Technology.
In his words “My love for saving lives as a medical doctor was what translated to my saving lives through food”.
Having studied Food Science & Technology at the Lagos State Polytechnic, Joseph thought outside the box to carve a niche for himself.
He continued that he didn’t give up on his dream
He noted not studying medicine didn’t stop his dream of saving live which was what gave birth to his company, Food Doctors Nigeria Limited in 2009.
”When I was in school, whenever I told people I was studying food technology they often asked if I could cook, but when I tell them I am a food doctor, they crave to know more about me.
However, Food Doctors Nigeria Limited (FDNL), an indigenous food consulting firm and a registered incorporation in Nigeria with a track record on exceptional and professional performance, poised itself as a one stop shop for Food Safety Solutions, Agribusiness Sustainability and Capacity Development.
“At Food Doctors, with our mandate to save Lives Through Food…..We have a large food and agro-allied professional network pool of over 64 faculty working with the organization in areas of capacity development for farmers and food industry. Also a network of registered nutritionists working on zero malnutrition advocacy project in Nigeria” Awesu noted.
