Looking at his career journey while leading the notable firm that has been feeding the nation for the past 63 years, Olusanya pointed out that FMN, as a massive company, employs several value chains to accelerate its growth.
The industry thought leader further explained that the journey has been a learning process and urged people to prioritise on value for themselves and for brands. He stated that it will enable them to stand out as model brands that provide value and solutions.
“FMN is a large and extensive business, and because of the size and scale it is producing, it has products that touch the lives of Nigerians on a daily basis, which is why we have the “Feeding the Nation” mantra. When you then realize that what you are doing the night before is what makes a difference to the kind of food that gets on people’s tables the next day, it sends a couple of shivers up your spine. But the excitement is the opportunity to continue to make changes that dramatically can improve the quality of life of the majority of Nigerians,” he said.
