Kaduna Pupils Eat El-rufai's Free Food On The Floors Of Their Classrooms (PICS) by Kenai(op): 9:35am On Jan 19, 2016

The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, on Monday flagged off free feeding in the state primary schools in what the governor described as a fulfillment of his pledge to provide free education to pupils in Kaduna state. According to him, the free feeding programme is expected to benefit 1.5 million children in over 4,000 pubic primary schools across the state.
Meanwhile Social crusaders and activists from Kaduna, have released pictures to condemn the School feeding initiative maintaining the the program was unnecessary and a charade especially given the state of infrastructure decay in the school which should have been first addressed.
According to a commenter, he said that government of Kaduna should have ’empowered their parents and use the food money to equip the class.’ Another activist Zina Dabo said on twitter; “Seriously @elrufai do you think what these kids need is propaganda slice of yam not chairs? @shehusani @NGRWailers“
According to El-Rufai, the programme is directly creating 17,000 jobs for caterers, who in turn will employ others to support them. “It is an unprecedented undertaking in the state, but one that we solemnly pledge to do during the campaign.
“In seeking to take care of our children we are creating jobs, boosting demand and expanding people to new skills and hygienic standard, and providing extra income.”
The pictures show students in schools without furniture; chairs and tables who were seen eating from the plates across various primary schools in the state. Photos below:

These are the pictures the governor unfortunately doesn't want you to see. And it ties in with the typical APC leadership style - Ignore the basic essentials you're supposed to provide, and focus on the cosmetic and unsustainable political gestures that will only earn you quick and easy brownie points from the gullible.
This man couldn't provide desks, teachers and laboratory infrastructure, he skipped them all for this recurrent expenditure that will do nothing to improve the QUALITY of education in those schools.
This was the exact same way a certain governor employed Twitter shills and media jesters to whitewash his image with endless propaganda for all of 2012, 2013 and 2014, until the crash in oil prices exposed him for the wasteful, shortsighted, and totally CLUELESS leader he really was ('Oil prices have fallen, so my hands are tied. I can't pay your salaries. in the mean time, pray for the state. Bye').

And the same thing looks to play out in Kaduna soon.
We just dey watch.

Point of correction on you first sentence, "these are the pictures Nigerian leaders don't want you to see." It is not an APC thing, the PDP is even more guilty of this sleaze. Just to remind you of your stinking hypocrisy, Kaduna state has been ruled by the PDP for 16 years of financial boom while APC has been there for just 8 months at a time of recession. What is the wisdom in expecting APC to clean up in 8 months of recession, a huge mess which PDP couldn't clean in 16 years of plenty? undecided

Now to the main topic of discussion, I just laugh at the wisdom of the 'well-fed' people who keep screaming 'misplaced priorities.' There is no doubt that furniture are needed in the schools, however I can assure you that even with the finest furnishing and the most beautiful architecture, attempting to educate a child with an empty stomach is nothing but a futile and worthless endeavour. Especially in rural areas where some parents can barely afford to feed their kids, the importance of an assurance of a single meal a day for their kids can never be overemphasised. If you have ever been to some northern rural areas, you should be able to appreciate what I talk about. This program will in no small way, encourage a lot of parents to ensure their kids go to school and stay in school. With a larger population being educated, what could be more important than human capital development?....

The most basic needs of man are FOOD, CLOTHING and SHELTER. There is a reason why FOOD always comes before SHELTER in that list.

I think buying seats and desks is priority here.
Fix the classrooms and environment , buy books, get better teachers.
Teach their parents family planning and stop child marriages.
These should be the best way to go bout this.
Improvement in education in anambra wasn't by feeding kids, it was by infrastructure for better learning.

Don't even know where to start from. I think they should eat and drink their Kunu-geda from home, Govt should not give u free Education and also Free food especially when there are lots of lapses in the Educational institutions. Common wooden desks and seats, the classes don't have.
