Direct Sales Agent (DSA) at Ekris Bio Health Foods Nigeria Limited - 2 Openings

Ekris Bio Health Foods Nigeria Limited - We are an innovative, indigenous food manufacturing and packaging company proudly rooted in Nigeria. Our mission is to bridge the gap between Nigeria’s rich and diverse indigenous soups and the often substandard quality of existing swallow products in the market. We believe that our swallows should serve as the perfect complement—indeed, a rallying point—for our traditional soups, enhancing both taste and nutritional value. Beyond swallows, we are committed to showcasing the versatility of healthy flour-based products to Nigerians and the wider African market. Our product development strategy focuses on unlocking a broad spectrum of applications for our nutritious flour blends across multiple food categories.

Accordingly, we are specifically devoted to the research, development, and production of healthy alternative Swallows, Beverages, Cereals, and Confectionery products designed to promote improved dietary choices and overall well-being. Although Elkris Foods was originally established in the United Kingdom, we strategically relocated operations to Nigeria to position the business within one of the world’s fastest-growing population hubs. With projections indicating that Nigeria will rank among the top three most populous nations globally by 2030, we recognize a significant opportunity to serve a rapidly expanding consumer base. Our strategic objective is clear: by 2030, we aim to have at least one Elkris Foods brand present at breakfast, lunch, or dinner in no fewer than 20 million households across Nigeria annually. Through this ambition, we seek not only commercial growth but also to champion and embed a culture of healthy eating within the Nigerian population and beyond.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:
