School Feeding Programme: Over 8.2M Pupils Now Being Fed In 24 States

*Over 80,000 cooks engaged in 45,394 schools


Following the achievement of its target of 5.5 million pupils being fed free daily under the programme in 2017, the Buhari administration’s National Home-grown School Feeding Programme (NHGSFP) now feeds 8,260,984 pupils in 45,394 public primary schools across 24 states.

The 24 states currently benefitting from the school feeding programme are Anambra, Enugu, Oyo, Osun, Ogun, Ebonyi, Zamfara, Delta, Abia, Benue, Plateau, Bauchi, Taraba, Kaduna, Akwa-Ibom, Cross River, Imo, Jigawa, Niger, Kano, Katsina, Gombe, Ondo and Borno.

Similarly, over 80,000 direct jobs have since been created from the School Feeding Programme; with 87,261 cooks currently engaged in the 24 participating states. All 36 states of the Federation and the FCT will eventually benefit from the programme.

The programme’s educational, economic and health benefits have been praised by many.

Not only has the Buhari administration’s School Feeding Programme created jobs for thousands of Nigerians in these communities where the programme is being implemented, it has also helped to boost local economies by linking the local farmers to the school feeding market.

Similarly, the school feeding programme continues to record significant milestones in the classrooms as the scheme has led to an increase in enrolment.

Another important aspect of the School Feeding Programme is that by providing a meal a day for millions of pupils, it addresses the issues of malnutrition and stunting among children, increasing the chances of the pupils making a significant headway in their learning and in life.

The NHGSFP plans to implement feeding in 28 States in the coming months, and all over the country soon after.

Just say 8.2M Northern students who doesn't even like hearing the word "School".

What are you feeding them? we've seen pictures of food that looks like sacrifice which ancestors will even reject.


Another election propaganda.

Mtcheeew..

Our children were not hungry before, give their parents back their jobs and watch them feed both their children and others too..
By the way, seems the feeding program is selected based on 97/5% basics because I haven't heard much about it down South south..

Haters can and will never see this good news for the pupils.

What is the content of these meals? How nutritious are they? Someone is salting home billions of naira on the pretense of feeding school pupils. This is not our national priority. Education and health standards are falling.

Very true....

You are mad

Shift lemme faint ..

This lie is getting out of hand ..

Why can't buhari improve thier parents standard of living to feed their children as they should instead of this avenue to loot



Why is the commonest of sense absence from this government

Oga, shut up if you don't have anything to say. I saw one of your post that you said you are in a different time zone, which means you are not in naija (It's left to you if that is true)..


So what's your problem that you can't let people staying in the country voice out the wrongdoings and lies?

Next yr is election, let them go and find who to deceive.
