Prior to the pronouncement by
the Minister of Agriculture, Alhaji
Sabo Nanono that with thirty
naira (N30), one can feed himself
in Kano state, Alhaji Haruna
Engineer was a radio and
television repairer conducting his
business along Layin Kuka in Sani
Mai-Nagge quarters, Gwale local
government area of Kano state.
But few days after the minister’s
controversial pronouncement
that generated serious debate
among Nigerians, the popular
technician decided to establish a
restaurant where a plate of food
would be sold at the cost of N30
only.

Engineer told Chronicle that the
idea of establishing the N30
restaurant was conceived by his
wife, Malama Sadiya Sa’id, who
told him that in their family
house they sold N20 worth of
food to people.

He said, “the whole thing started
like a joke between my wife and
I. We were discussing about the
minister’s pronouncement after
listening to comments by the
people on the issue over the
radio. Then my wife said the
minister was right because in
their family house they sold a
plate of rice and beans for N20.
“She did not stop at that, she
further advised me that if I can
get some money we can try it as
a business. Initially, I did not
believe her until after she made
some calculations and came up
with an idea on how we can
prepare a plate of rice and beans
or Garri with grounded
groundnut cake at the cost of
less than N30. It was at this point
that I believed her and agreed to
start the business as trial.”
He recalled that they started with
a capital of N450 which they
bought a measure of Garri at the
cost N250, vegetable oil N50 and
grounded groundnut cake (Kuli-
Kuli) N100, Ginger N20, Maggi
N20 and Salt N10, making a total
of N450, adding that at the end
of the day they realized N700,
therefore making a gain of N250.

He said later they introduced rice
and beans which they also sold a
plate at N30, saying although the
profit was not much but at least
they were making some gains
out of the business and at the
time helping many people from
the less privileged families.
He said: “Presently, we are
preparing 10 measures of rice,
five measures of beans and 10
measures of Garri every day. We
usually start selling at 11am and
close by 8pm daily. As at now we
have a capital of more than
N300,000 because some people
have donated some cash to me
after I started the business.
“I have also acquired a certificate
from Kano state government for
the formalization of my
restaurant, which I named N30
Restaurant and I am planning to
open branches in all the 44 local
government areas of the state.
But for now, I have decided to
open branches in Mandawari,
Kasuwar Sharada and Janguza
before I move to other local
government areas.”
Tahir Nura Muhammad came all
the way from Dorayi quarters to
buy a N30 worth of plate of rice
and beans from Malam Haruna.
He told Chronicle that he bought
four plates of rice and beans as
well as a plate of Wasa-Wasa.
“It cost me only N120 for the
four plates. When I heard about
the man, I could not believe it
until when I came here and saw
for myself. It is a plate of rice and
beans plus sachet water at the
cost of N30,” he confirmed.
Malam Ibrahim Idris, popularly
known as Baba Tangul, who
bought three plates of Wasa-
Wasa from the N30 Restaurant,
also told Chronicle that he had
been buying food from the
restaurant since it was opened a
month back.
