At the 45th Annual Accountants Conference in Abuja on Tuesday, Vice-President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration would soon start giving primary school children free meals. He said the free meals scheme was a core project of the Federal Government that would in turn yield about 1.14 million jobs and increase in food production.
Speaking on the topic “Repositioning Nigeria for Sustainable Development: From Rhetoric to Performance,” Osinbajo said that the multiplier effects of the introduction of the school feeding scheme would help to create new jobs; increase food production by up to 530,000 metric tonnes per annum, as well as attract fresh investments up to N980bn.
 
He said:
“One of the most important interventions required in the education sector is capacity building to improve teacher quality.
“This programme is intended to drive teachers’ capacity development; boost basic education; attract talents to the teaching profession. Better educated population increases economic potential for productivity.”
“The All Progressives Congress has made a commitment to provide one-meal-a-day for all primary school students; that would create jobs in agriculture, including poultry, catering and delivery services.”

Was that the only promised made lie lie pastor fraud 419 Osibade.

Nigerians are we sure these married couple are coming out from the same house? It's like the right hand don't know what the left is doing. How can one say no promise another said the money they would have use has been squandered by GEJ and this one come out again and making the same promise without hearing from his husband. APC should put their heads together and go in one direction to avoid embarrassing themselves and insulting we Nigerians.

Until I see our school kids receiving the free meals , I don't believe !

Making a pledge does not mean it will be done. Apc and talking in future tenses. Meanwhile




>PDP was created as a coalition to wrest power from the military, the APC was a merger of several interest groups set up to wrest power from the PDP..

That will be great. It will bring a lot of kids to school in addition to the employment benefits. There is a lot of work to be done to make it successful and we are prepared to wait for it.

They should be looking at first term of 2016, to allow enough time to to put required structures in place. We don't want to hear that the service providers are diverting food to their deep freeezers

Meanwhile progressive minded people should already be thinking of ways to become meal service providers or logistics partners to the scheme. It will be huge!
