The Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, on Friday evening expressed dismay over the ongoing Ramadan Feeding programme in the Kano metropolis.
Recall that the State Government budgeted a whopping sum of over N5 billion for the Ramadan feeding programme.
The governor expressed his disappointment with the program during a surprise visit to one of the feeding centres in Gidan Maza, Municipal Local Government area.
Governor Yusuf also conveyed his dissatisfaction with the conduct of the program handlers, whom he believes are depriving the intended beneficiaries of the meals.
“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 centre” the Governor cautioned
The Governor conducted the inspection following intelligence reports implying deficiencies in the management of the feeding programme at various centres across the metropolis.
He threatened to deal decisively with any government official found wanting in the misappropriation of the funds earmarked for the programme.
