The vice-president of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, revealed on Tuesday, September 1, that the Buhari administration will soon start giving out free meals to school children, fulfilling one of the campaign promises. The vice president said that the free meals scheme was a core project of the federal government that would in turn yield about 1.14 million jobs and an increase in food production, The Punch reports. Osinbajo said this at the 45th Annual Accountants Conference in Abuja. He further said the government would be investing more in the people, in education and job creation. The vice-president spoke on the topic “Repositioning Nigeria for Sustainable Development: From Rhetoric to Performance”. Osinbajo said that the introduction of the school meals scheme would help to create 1.14 million new jobs; increase food production by up to 530,000 metric tonnes per annum, as well as attract fresh investments up to N980bn.

Thank God!

Nice one...

Good! But the question nigerians should be asking is, how long will the feeding programme last??
They can decide to feed d pupils for a week n stop. And was campaign promise fulfilled? yes! Feeding of pupils took place. I dnt think feeding pupils shld be a priority, give their parents jobs to feed their wards properly.

is a good development
