Olusanya stated that the Eko Flavours project, in partnership with the private sector, aims to transform food markets in Lagos State as part of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s initiatives to improve the state’s food system.

She explained that Eko Flavours, designed as a culinary platform for food vendors and chefs to showcase their talent and engage with food enthusiasts, will be held annually, with the 2024 edition scheduled for August.

The Commissioner also emphasised the importance of organised markets across the state, noting that it would simplify the purchasing of food items and lead to lower prices, as demand could be measured and prices negotiated.

“The main aim of the Eko Flavours project, aside from engaging young culinary enthusiasts and food lovers, is to showcase Lagos as a transformative state when it comes to food experiences.

“We tend to focus on getting our food into the kitchen without understanding the logistics involved in production,” she said.
