JUST IN: FG reintroduces school feeding programme
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed the reintroduction of the popular school feeding program.
The program, previously suspended by the Muhammadu Buhari administration after years of operation, will now fall under the Ministry of Education, a shift from its previous placement under the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs.
Minister of Education, Prof Tahir Mamman, who revealed the president’s directive during a recent retreat, said if the learning crisis is not tackled, it will be difficult to address the challenges of out-of-school children.
He added that the retreat served as a brainstorming session to map out concrete steps for implementing existing policies and clearly assigning responsibilities to different agencies, all in the fight against the out-of-school children crisis.
