Yusuf during an unannounced visit to one of
the centres at the Municipal Local Government Area, expressed dissatisfaction
with the kind of food being cooked and packaged for the people.
Alleging sabotage in the exercise, he
questioned the quality and quantity of food he saw as against the one approved
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.
However, some have said the programme
wasn’t necessary and that such amount could have been channelled into more
impactful projects.
