Free Meal In Schools Will Curb Drop-out Rate – Ikpeazu by Danmas(op): 1:43pm On Jun 14, 2016
Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, has opined that the government’s Free School Meal Initiative is a move to put an end to the school drop-out condition in the state. Ikpeazu made the statement during the School Lunch Programme held on Monday at Ntigha primary school in Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Area. The governor pointed out that the scheme would ensure that all the children were adequately taken care of irrespective of parental status and background. The Governor said he felt indebted to the children who were the future leaders, hinting that the scheme guaranteed that every pupil in Abia State was sure of at least one meal a day. He said the initiative was geared towards closing the gap, providing meals to the children and assisting the needy which, would be sustained by Abia families. Free school lunch bags, a bus for food distribution to various primary schools and employment for the chef and stewards amongst others were part of the gains associated with the scheme. The governor’s wife, Mrs Nkechi Ikpeazu also dewormed thousands of primary school pupils during the programme.
