FG to provide 1bn eggs for school feeding programme


ABUJA—THE federal government has said its decision to partially deregulate the downstream sector of the petroleum sector would enhance its school feeding programme.

Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, stated this yesterday, when a federal government delegation, led by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, David Babachir Lawal, met with members of the National Working Committee and State Executive Committees of All Progressives Congress, APC, in Abuja.

At the meeting called to discuss the issues thrown up by deregulation, Mohammed listed several impacts the policy would have on Nigerians.

He said, “The first is the employment of 500,000 unemployed graduates, the second is the employment of 100,000 non graduates, technicians and artisans. The third is the one meal a day programme targeting 5.5 million pupils all over Nigeria. This is the most exciting of all our programmes. Even if we are going to give these children one egg a day, it means we will need 5.5 million eggs and in a calendar year of 200 days, we will need over a billion eggs. You can imagine what this will do to agriculture.

“We have the enterprise scheme which is a system of revolving loan. We are targeting one million market women and men, 460,000 artisans and technicians and 200,000 agricultural workers to be given loans through their cooperatives to start their own businesses. We have the N5,000 conditional cash transfers to one million most vulnerable Nigerians as a first phase. Then finally, we have bursaries, scholarships for all students in Nigeria studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics.”

National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, said such meetings would be convened on a regular basis so party members would understand government’s policy. He said:

“What this does is to arm everyone of us from the national and state levels so that we can speak with confidence, in addition to whatever passion we can muster about what is going on at the national level and go away with the conviction that things are not just happening capriciously with the conviction that we promised change. Change is a process, it is not an event, not something that happens the day after the government was sworn-in.”

WHO EGGS DON EPP??

Mr president I supported u and still supports u but this program I condemn in every sense of it... with the way our economy is now we need things that will generate revenue for the government

This money can build 360 vocational training centres across each Fedral constituency were people will acquire a skill for two years, quality skills I mean like professional shoe making, road construction, structural welding, diving, restaurants management, auto mechanic, etc and this people should be given loan to start there own business after they have been thought entrepreneurship for the two years also

Or
.give 3 million Naira loan to graduates with good business plan and give the 3 years bonus period after which they start paying back the loan of a single digit interest with there certificate as collateral

Mr president any of the above will be a better use of this money

Sai Buhari...."we will need over a billion eggs. You can imagine what this will do to agriculture."

- 42 million crates to be produced
- 1 billion chickens (layers)
- 10 billion bags of chicken feeds
- 500 million cages
- 200,000 vet doctors
- 10,000 truck drivers
- 100,000 farmers

Amazing decision

Stupidity.. Can a parent who can't feed his/her child afford to send him or her to school? This is the same rubbish that was implemented in Imo State by the 'Mouth' Governor Rochas. We all saw the end results. It was very very silly.

The people sharing the food cash would come late so that a good number of kids would have gone home. The reason people now come to school is for food, not that it helped the condition of education in the state.

Now, it wants to be implemented in the entire country. You really have to ask: What is the benefit in the long term?

Iyen no da.....In you we trust to lead us to the promise land

Nigeria shall be great because we are blessed to persevere. Great days ahead.

If good economy policies were there, we will not need eggs from Govt to train our children that is the truth.Besides with the spiritual nature of Nigerians who will allow his child to be feed with cook egg in school?The children might be poisioned you know?so let there be good economy policies and forget about your free egg campaign.Thanks.
