According to Atinga, a graduate of the University of Development Studies, he decided to contend for the record as a means to shoot down the stigma around khebab sellers and expose it

I hope to help increase public appreciation of the value of khebab making and selling in the country and to expose to as many patrons as possible the nutritional and health values of the product."

For Atinga Joel, who is already in the business, he believes he has amassed the experience to showcase his meat grilling forte to the world and put the Northern Region on the map.
