Chandan worked with me during my tenure at Dufil Prima Foods PLC as QA Manager in 3 of the Noodles factories ( Ota, PHC, Kaduna), during his tenure he contributed significantly in improving and establishing QA systems in all the units and developing team members. I wish him all the very best in his future endeavor.

I have worked with Chandan in my role as QA professional and have found him to possess a keen interest in new technologies. His interest is not restricted to this area alone but also extends to a good understanding of the business problems encountered by the management. During the course of my interactions with him, I have seen him focus on minute details of the issue presented to him - a critical skill for research analysts. He comes across as a person with an innate problem-solving ability and as someone who is enthusiastic about his work.

Chandan was a fantastic team member who applied himself with enthusiasm and dedication to his work. If challenges arose Chandan proved himself flexible and applied his initiative to help resolve them. During his time with us Chandan helped construct a HACCP system which was subsequently rolled out to the different operations. However the greatest credit for Chandan is his personality, he is a warm, friendly person who quickly became a cornerstone of the team bringing his humour and charm to any task.
