– June 9th.About the FG school feeding programme

Federal government will today lunch the school feeding programme,
which is expected to ensure the feeding of over 24 million primary school
children, would have each of the children given one meal per day in the
first year of its operation.
The scheme is part of the N500 billion social investment plans of
President Muhammadu Buhari’s Presidency, even as both the federal and
state governments are expected to review the strategic plan for the
scheme.
The event is billed to hold at the Old Banquet Hall of the Presidential
Villa, Abuja. Some dignitaries expected to be in attendance include governors of Borno, Oyo, Osun, Enugu and Kaduna states, and other
government representatives and stakeholders from 36 states of the
federation and developmental partners.
According to a statement from the Office of the Acting President, the
strategic plans will run until 2020 and forms the cornerstone of the
nationwide Home Grown School Feeding programme.
The statement added that “the Federal Government is working with key
technical partners to capitalize upon global experience and adopt best
practices.”
One such partner is the UK’s Imperial College, London’s Partnership for
Child Development, PCD, which is providing technical assistance to the
Presidency. The scheme is to help pupils become better students, and
also boost the local economies, and create new jobs along the way.
Beside the strategic plan, Osinbajo would also launch the “Global School
Feeding Sourcebook: Lessons from 14 countries,” a joint Partnership
for Child Development, the World Bank and World Food Programme
analysis of national school feeding programmes from across the globe.
