She said that the festival was also to underscore its importance to healthy living and productivity in the workplace. As food sellers feeding the federal workforce, it is our duty to serve good and nutritious food that will help our customers to achieve good health and be productive in their offices.

“The food we serve here at the Federal Secretariat is wholesome, similar to home cooking. We understand what it means for the health of our customers. In realisation of the above, we have decided to stage this event to highlight the need to promote Nigerian cuisines and good organic food as against foreign food.

“We wish to further encourage our immediate customers including civil servants on the need to patronise Nigerian dishes,’’ Tetteh said.
