Senior special assistant to the president on Home Grown School Feeding (NHGSFP), Dr Yetunde Adeniji, has allayed fears that the worsening inflationary trend in Nigeria would stall the school feeding programme.
Adeniji who kicked off the value for money (VFM) study in Osun State, said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would surely live up to his promises of feeding 10 million school children annually in the country.
“We are committed to the feeding programme of our school children putting in place measures to address challenges that may hinder the success of the programme.
“Nigerians can be assured of Mr President’s commitment to this programme,” she noted.
Adeniji explained that the VFM project aims to ensure the programme delivers maximum impact for schoolchildren.
Adeniji further said the programme and other activities will commence on May 20 and end on May 30. Parts of the activities include meeting with various stakeholders, farmers, cooks, community leaders, and government officials.
