The government said it wants to ensure that the feeding starts when schools resume in January 2020.

The federal government says it has begun the payment to food vendors under the Home Grown School Feeding Programme in all 33 benefiting states and the Federal Capital Territory .

The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Farouq, made the announcement on Sunday through a statement sent to PREMIUM TIMES. “We believe that paying these funds early is critical to the success of the programme. We do not want any hitches, and we want to ensure that the school children are fed on time, and without any excuses,” the minister said.

The HGSF programme was set up by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2016 as part of the N500 billion funded Social Investment Programme . It was projected to provide 1.14 million jobs and feed over 24 million school children.
