- There was public outcry over the Ramadan Feeding Programme
Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has voiced his dissatisfaction with the execution of the State Ramadan Feeding Programme.
During an impromptu visit to a center in the Municipal Local Government Area, he raised concerns about the quality and quantity of the food being prepared and distributed to the people. Yusuf suspected sabotage in the process and questioned the discrepancy between the food he observed and the approved standards set by the government.
Lifting a packed food in a nylon, he said, “Look at this nonsense, who gave you materials to cook? Don’t let me come back and see this repeat itself. I couldn’t sleep because of the news I have been getting about this exercise.
“We will not accept dishonesty and mismanagement of public resources. It is imperative to note that the allocated funds for this initiative are meticulously documented at each center.”
He, therefore, directed his Chief of Staff, Shehu Wada Sagagi, to take note of the development and brief him on a daily basis.
There was public outcry over the Ramadan Feeding Programme in the state. Although N6billion was earmarked for the exercise, many complained about loopholes in the project which is meant for the holy month of Ramadan.
