8.2 million pupils get free meal in 24 states, Presidency says

ABDULFATAI AYOBAMI IBRAHIM

24 MAY 2018

Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja

The Presidency on Wednesday said 8,260,984 pupils were now being served free meals daily under the present administration’s National Home-Grown School Feeding Programme, a component of its Social Investment Programme.

It said the benefitting pupils were drawn from 45,394 public primary schools in 24 states of the federation.

The Senior Special Assistant to the Vice-President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Laolu Akande, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists.

Akande listed the states where pupils were currently benefitting from the school feeding programme to include Anambra, Enugu, Oyo, Osun, Ogun, Ebonyi Zamfara, Delta, Abia, Benue and Plateau.

Others, according to him, are Bauchi, Taraba, Kaduna, Akwa-Ibom, Cross River, Imo, Jigawa, Niger, Kano, Katsina, Gombe, Ondo and Borno.

Akande added that the scheme had created over 80,000 direct jobs with 87,261 cooks currently engaged in the 24 participating states.

He said all the 36 states and Abuja would eventually benefit from the programme.

No igbo family will accept free food. Another school run looming, we better teach our kids at home. Send the food to those who need them.

Please i want to ask, the cooks who prepare these food for our kids, where were they recruited from? who supervises what they cook for our kids? Hope such supervision (if any) is done at all locations and at all times? It only takes one bad batch to sterilize those kids forever... if it hasn't been done already.

I know your type.

You are born to wail and complain.

Most societies engage social intervention programs whether it be by way of food stamps, benefits in housing or stipends.

Even in UK, public schools still feed their wards not to talk of a backwater Nigeria.

Free school meals

Free school meals are provided for children whose parents receive certain benefits (or who are on those benefits themselves):

Income Support
Income-based Jobseekers Allowance
Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
The guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
Child Tax Credit (provided they are not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
Working Tax Credit run-on – paid for 4 weeks after a person stops qualifying for Working Tax Credit
Universal Credit - with household income of less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits) from 1 April 2018, with transitional protections for existing claimants


Free school meals may also be available to pre-school children and those in school sixth forms. Local authorities are responsible for providing free school lunches and applications must be made through the relevant local body.

Government has lessened the burden of feeding on parents and it is laudable.

The past governments never thought it necessary.

They are not feeding men. They are feeding kids. I am an employer of labour who has opened many businesses , I had free food in primary school in Lagos in the early 70s. Ibos should stop this outdated idea that social welfare does not work. The most advanced countries used to feed kids in schools. Very soon everything you think you know about life, work and business will change with AI, machine learning and IOT. Maybe a lot of false notions will change.

Sometimes I try reason the need of this school feedin'

Is that the pupils don't have food to eat at home? Or its just a way of engagin'women who are jobless as cooks.

Well! Is South-East takin' this free food Ticket instead of Presidential Ticket in 2023?? Or ahbi na South-East pupils hungry pass.

I just dey reason....
