However, Bello, who is the chairman of the Shura committee of the National Islamic Centre calls on the federal government to make the issue of hunger in the land a priority.

“Let us be very frank and blunt about this- there is hunger, extreme hunger in the land.There is no more vociferous and forceful evidence on this than the millions of our hapless children, all victims of cruel parental neglect, who go about begging for food from households, on streets, or just eating out of dustbin, “ he stated.

He added that:“Our political and spiritual leaders must do something about this, and urgently too, as it would be a crime, a sin and a folly not to do so.”
