Unveiling the new brand ambassador, the Chief Operating Officer, Dufil Prima Foods Plc, Mr Girish Sharma, revealed that noodles as a whole has penetrated 80% of the Nigerian market. “We decided to collaborate with Miyonse because we recognize the fact that he is a well-respected chef and he knows his onions as far as the culinary landscape in Nigeria is concerned.

The 25 year old chef rose to prominence after being a housemate for the second season of the popular “Big Brother Naija” reality TV show. Ever since then he has proven himself as a culinary master and media personality. He currently hosts the cooking segment of the ‘Wake Up Nigeria’ breakfast show on TVC Entertainment for which he received an award as the Outstanding Television Chef of the year by the Nigerian Culinary Professionals.
