According to Agbovi, the Chefs Association only found out about Chef Smith’s cook-a-thon after it was announced on social media.
He noted that concerns were raised when it was discovered that the embattled chef was using the association’s logo on his attire without being a member.
He said the association reached out to Chef Smith to put in an application to be registered as a member of the group, but he failed to do so.
Agbovi said that is why, throughout the chef’s cook-a-thon attempt, the association did not post him on its social media.
Commenting on Chef Smith’s fall from grace, Agbovi said there was no reason for the chef to fake the certificate if he did not get it.
He said that even attempting the feat at such a significant cost was commendable.
