Sales Merchandiser at Elkris Bio-Health Foods Nigeria Limited

Elkris Foods is an innovative and indigenous food manufacturing and packaging company in Nigeria. We are here to bridge the chasm between our rich, delicious variety of indigenous soups and the poor quality of existing swallows. With this, our Swallows will naturally become a rallying point for our local soups. We also want to present to Nigerians and in fact the entire African continent a plethora of uses our healthy flour can serve. Consequent upon this, we are specifically devoted to the development and production of healthy alternative Swallows, Beverages, Cereals, and Confectionery.

Although Elkris Foods started in the UK, we decided to move our business to Nigeria to rightly and effectively position ourselves to leverage the population forecast of Nigeria becoming the one of the top three most populous nations by the year 2030. The strategic intent is to have any of the Elkris Foods Brands on the breakfast, lunch or dinner of at least 20 million households across Nigeria every year by the year 2030 to promote a healthy diet culture among the populace.
