<p>“The minister is madly in love. He appeared unstoppable,” said the source.</p>
<p>In October 2019, the minister said there was no hunger in Nigeria as N30 meal is available in the country.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>“Food in Nigeria is fairly cheap compared to other countries. In Kano, for instance, you can eat N30 worth of food and be satisfied. So, we should be thankful that we can feed ourselves and we have relatively cheap food in this country,” he said.</p>
