President Muhammadu Buhari last week while addressing Nigerians on the coronavirus instructed the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Farouq, to develop a strategy on how to sustain the school feeding programme.
She said the programme will give priority to Lagos, Ogun and FCT but will extend to all states currently participating in the programme for a period of 30 days. “The Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development has concluded plans with State Governments to continue the Home-Grown School Feeding Programme using a door-to-door voucher distribution system.
“Existing aggregators will provide the food items. Distribution sites will be situated within the communities and in some states within the achools by hand washing points. Safety and hygiene precautions will be observed,” she said. In some states, the food items are purchased and supplied to the vendors by the state governments, through the ”aggregators.” Under such an arrangement, the cooks are only paid “salaries” as their role is to just cook and serve the meals.The HGSF programme was introduced in 2016 as part of the Social Investment Programme of the Buhari administration. It was projected to provide 1.14 million jobs across the country, including community women who would be engaged as cooks.
Trying hard to salvage the mistake made by our presido during the national broadcast.
Who schooled this idiots?
Read through this report and all the explanations given by Ms Farouq and her spoke person are strongly rubbish. Give voucher? Then go to a place to redeem it? All in the name of embezzling? I blame the President for lacking critical thinking ability.
Scamming with impunity!...🙆🙆🙆
Are these people brainless, how are they pupils going to pick the vouchers/food during the lock down and by the way what happen to social distancing? Another looting in the making.
A very confused govt. I wonder how they will locate each child house and how they will pass information across to all the children to come to a certain location for their food. A window for corruption has just been opened very wide.
Do you know how much is made from this Sham? If they stop it, they stand to lose alot. Loot on people! Loot on
*Sigh*
A country is falling apart TVCconnect channelstv the pupils aren't children of a single family dear NSIP_NG Some students travel miles to school. Will they defy the lockdown to come get meals or you will cover miles square area to distribute meals everyday?
That's a lie
Why can't you calculate the cost of feeding per pupil and handover the cumulative to the parents.
Clueless and scam
Feed northern school pupils
ScamOfTheDecade
Nigerians, young and old, all on lockdown yet still want to feed children who are not in school. Serving them at home is not necessary. The fund can take care of other things at this point in time.
Is NigeriaGov not just shameful!? How realistic is this!?
This government is a fraud. Looking for ways to steal by all means. Why won't COVID 19 leave the poor and help us teach our politicians.
