Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun state, has set up a nine-member committee to review the free feeding of primary school pupils, free health programme for children and the elderly, in the state.

The committee is made up of permanent secretaries in the state and a level 17 officer, who is a director.

After the review exercise, parents may be asked to pay a token to support the government or it may be cancelled.

This new development may not be unconnected with the government’s plans to save some money for payment of salaries of civil servants and to carry out developmental projects in the state.

It is said that the state government has not been able to pay workers salaries in the past 6 months, a development it blames on dwindling allocation from the Federal Government.

It would be recalled that the Deputy Governor, Titi Laoye-Tomori, said the “school feeding meals cost government of the State of Osun N3.6bn annually.”

Nothing bad in scrapping the program if it's no longer sustainable.
It is a lofty program which was introduced based on certain conditions and if the new realities mean the program must be discontinued, so be it.

Nothing bad in scrapping the program What about the wastage?

Look dude, there's something called feasibility study. If Aregbe is not stupid or crazy, he should have done one.

Now the illiterate Buhari is dangling free money over our heads.
Does he really think it is feasible? He shouldn't fcking waste money meant for infrastructure on an unsustainable program.

APC is all fraud, filled with men that lives in Disneyland.

baybeeboi:
hmm!
Wonder what they were thinking in the first place.
Some unrealistic decisions

Being educated doesn't equal to being exposed or informed. You're obviously educated but not informed.

Many progressive countries have social programs for the poorest of their citizens irrespective of the type of government they practice.

It is myopic to assume that Aregbe didn't do a feasibility study before embarking on the meal a day program. Feasibility studies do not always tell what will change in future and they mostly rely on present realities. How many programs have been discontinued in Nigeria as a result of new realities?

I don't like to do this but if you still call GMB an illiterate it shows the white matter in your skull is not what it should be.

Obiagu1:


I will be glad if you are from Osun because you deserve the kind of government that you get.
Aregbe did feasibility studies on a program that collapsed in how many years
Was it done by an Osun educated individual like you? I wouldn't be surprised! Half baked education is worse than no education.

As for welfare, do we have social insurance numbers? What data do we have or what foundation do we have to start any form of welfare program?
You can't wake up and say you would give N20,000 to 25 million Nigerians. Where did he get the figures from?

Obiagu1:
Now Buhari wants to introduce his welfare program.

These APC guys are just clueless.

And some people are saying the social program GMB is planning is feasible and sustainable.... lol.. Welcome to reality Nigerians!
Indeed Talk is Cheap

SLIDEwaxie:
u're more clueless. A state that has been seeing his allocations dwindled over the months with your frog faced finance minister and Lord clueless's doing shld kill herself? Workers' haven't been paid; is it not sensible to see how they cld reduce cost?

For what is wot, how many states in your red-soil ridden state that collects full and large allocations offers any free benefits for it's citizens?

All we knw is for them to loot u dry without doing a thank and at the time of elections, gather all of you, in conjunction with your parents, featuring your grandmas and reserving your children as substitutes and give u placards and N500 each to sing there praises.

This is not unconnected with why ur people give birth to many children. Do the math:

A father + mother + 12children will take home 7k per protests....

Yeye people.

If u can do it for 3 times a week, na something.

Here in the SW, that chance no dey.

Oponu

barcanista:
When I said this so-called program is "laughable" the APC clowns said "APC have experts" lol... Now Osun is about scrapping the policy. Funny enough one Mr Buhari wants to implement it and even campaigned vigorously with it. These people have no sense of developmental programs.

I thought the economy of Osun state is bigger than that of the BRIC countries combine.

Aragbashola that is making $20B per hour in Osun IGR last year but Rivers money was used to pay their salaries.
