Government Secondary Schools feeding gone wrong in Adamawa State: N15,000 and 3 bags of Maize as monthly feeding subvention for some boarding schools
Boarding School feeding in Adamawa State has really gone wrong. An amount considered to be mere peanuts was released on Tuesday this week as the feeding subvention to Principals of Boarding Secondary Schools. The Adamawa State Ministry of Education through the Post-Primary School Management board have allocated between N10, 000 - 35,000 as the monthly feeding subvention to the Principals of Government Boarding Schools in Adamawa State. One of the Head of the School who doesn’t want his name disclose narrated their ordeal thus, “most Schools got between N10, 000 to N25, 000 to go and feed students for the month". According to him, only General Murtala Mohammed College Yola got the sum of N35, 000 and six bags of Maize while most schools got 3 bags of maize. While speaking he further said, "the situation is very pathetic. For a long time, the Government does nothing for the schools except paying salaries."
He further continues his narration, "they said for this month but I am sure they won't give anything again for the whole term and even if they give it would be just like what they gave yesterday." According to him, the Government is taking more money from the schools by increasing the returns the schools remit to the government. While reflecting on the past Government that took the welfare of Boarding Secondary Schools serious, he said “during Boni Haruna's time feeding use to be N150 per student per day and schools use to get up to one million naira per month for feeding but when Nyako came, he started giving subvention once per term which he later stopped completely. Hon Umar Fintiri gave subvention once. The last term, Gov. Bindo Umaru Jibrilla gave each boarding school thirty thousand naira and yesterday they gave them some few bags of maize to feed students.
Our Source further stated, “They increase sports levy, which was N150 before to N300 and they asked the schools to return N150 per student to them. I have never seen anything they have done with the sports levy collected. They didn't supply anything to the schools neither do they organize any sports competition for the schools. The money being returned to them is just their pocket money."
An attempt to get response from the Honorable Commissioner of Education was not successful as she did not reply the sms sent to her on the issue.
Adamawa State Government has been investing a lot of funds in sponsoring pilgrimage to Jerusalem and Mecca. Such funds can be injected into the Education sector in order to improve the teaching and learning experience in Government Schools in the State. Without proper feeding and upkeep of the students, learning will not be effective. There is a need for Adamawa State Government to act fast to salvage this deteriorating situation in Public Schools within the State.
