“I wish to categorically state that the actual amount for the program is the sum of one billion one hundred and ninety seven million seven hundred thousand naira, for the whole month.

Upon visiting one of the centres, Governor Yusuf expressed dissatisfaction with the food preparation and distribution methods.
He expressed his disappointment with the subpar quality of the food. “Is this kunu?” Wow, check that out. Is there any sugar available? It’s baffling how such subpar food is being distributed, especially considering the significant funds allocated for this programme.
He added, “How can someone prepare this poorly and give people as food? Wallahi, Allah will deal with anyone doing this during this holy period of Ramadan.”
The visit coincides with the public’s response to the significant amount of money allocated by the Northwest Governors for Ramadan feeding.
