The lunch menu for April 2024 at AISA, where Bello paid nearly $846,000 in advance tuition fees for five of his children from Kogi State’s coffers, reads like a guide to world-class restaurants.
“I see no reason why we should not hold Yahaya Bello accountable,” says Olukoyede.

There are vegetarian options like avocado and feta sandwiches, falafel wraps, lentil spaghetti bolognese, and tofu with mushrooms in sauce over rice. It also includes fresh fruit and drinks daily.
