A male student, Master Ikechukwu Ifechukwu has emerged winner of a Cooking Competition Anambra State.

The emergence of Ifechukwu, a student of St Charles College, Onitsha, who represented Onitsha zone, came as a shock to many who were at the grand finale of the event held in Awka.

The participants were assessed based on proper hygiene, food taste, dishing and service manner.

They were given the opportunity to choose their recipe and several delicacies, and prepare them from start to finish within a time-lag of one hour, twenty minutes.

Ifechukwu defeated female contestants from schools in Aguata and Nnewi zones, who emerged 2nd and 3rd respectively.

Speaking during the event, the Anambra First Lady, Dr Soludo explained that the competition came as a way to correct an observed anomaly where young people are unable to prepare healthy meals.

Expressing delight at the outcome of the competition, she stressed the need for parents not to seclude any home chore for a particular sex, urging them to provide their children the same training and opportunity to ensure that they develop at an equal pace.

This, she noted, will also help them live independent lives without total dependence on others.
