[EDITORIAL] Suspend pupils’ home feeding during lockdown

Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Umar-Farouq

Ordinarily, this step should draw plaudits from Nigerians because of the impact it is likely to make at these critical times when many parents are finding it difficult to feed their households because of the lockdown and restriction of movement. But, given the paucity of planning time, and the sheer size of the targeted population, it is a programme that could be open to corruption and other forms of abuse.

Besides, it should be emphasised here that most times when the government talks about fighting corruption, it is just about picking up people deemed to have corruptly enriched themselves and throwing them into jail. It should not be so. Rather, it should be about making it difficult for the crime of corruption to be committed. Instead of the latter, the government in its insistence on taking school feeding programme to pupils’ homes seems to be tilting towards the former.

Undoubtedly, the school feeding programme is a noble scheme that has had a tremendous impact on the economically-challenged segment of the society. It has not only resulted in improvement in school enrolment, it has provided jobs for cooks and ensured a ready market for farm produce that would otherwise have perished for lack of adequate means of evacuating them to markets in the big cities.

I'm disappointed with this Editorial because it exudes ignorance of the prog. as it's currently being implemented.The govt is not going to any children's house to give food.They call the parents to a place&give them foodstuff for the child(ren) that would last for some weeks

Why?
