President Jonathan Ban’s Continental Dishes At Official Events.

The President's Democracy Day Speech broadcast was aired live from the office of the president in Abuja yesterday and part of the president speech was an outright ban on continental dishes in all government events across the country.
This directive is in tune with the administration's "Cassava bread" policy, as it pushes for consumption of cassava made bread across the country.

Furthermore, President Jonathan was noted as saying, “We must use our population to create markets for what we produce. We must grow local, buy local and eat local. To promote this, I have directed that all official functions of government serve local foods, especially our local rice and cassava bread and other foods. In the State House, I am faithfully keeping to my promise of eating cassava bread and local rice,” he said.
However, this policy has remains unpopular amongst law makers, who have rebuffed the President's Bill prescribing 50 per cent of cassava in the making of bread. In their defense, the lawmakers described that such a law would infringe on the rights of the citizens to their choice of food, as these could as well constitute health hazard to diabetic citizens.
Among other highlights of the president's speech was the willingness of his administration to establish a presidential museum in Abuja. The museum is expected to catalogue the lives and history of former presidents post independence.
