Olusanya made the disclosure on Friday during a stakeholders’ engagement held the Victoria Island axis of the state.
She said, “The festival scheduled to hold on December 11, is an avenue for fun lovers to meet different people, as well as a platform for various business people, especially food producers, food processors, and food lovers to interact.
“It will also serve as an avenue for participants to showcase their products and talents, particularly those in the food sector. The 2022 festival will be a bit different from others, as it will focus on different African delicacies in line with its theme.
“This year’s festival will settle that score whether it is the Ghanaian jollof rice or the Nigerian jollof rice that is better. But, personally, I ate Ghanaian jollof while I was living in Ghana for eight years but I tell you, nothing beats the Nigerian jollof delicacy.”
