The Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to President Bola Tinubu on School Feeding, Dr. Yetunde Adeniji, has commended President Bola Tinubu on N100billion earmarked for the programme in the 2024 budget.
In a press statement on Wednesday, Adeniji said that the N100billion allocation clearly showed the empathy President Tinubu has for Nigerian children.
“The 28.7trillion 2024 budget signed into law by President Bola Tinubu on the 1st of this month , is one empathy and compassion as far as the N100billion allocated for School feeding programme is concerned.
“It clearly demonstrates Mr President’s unwavering dedication to the well-being and upliftment of the Nigerian people,” she said.
She further commended President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, stressing the energy, strength, capacity, empathy, and compassion that Mr President has consistently demonstrated in leading Nigeria.
“I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Mr President for his visionary decision to reintroduce the National Home Grown School Feeding Program (NHGSFP) which will play a crucial role in removing children from the streets including improved enrollment and enhancing the socioeconomic activities of the host communities where these schools are situated.
“Additionally, the substantial allocation of funds in the 2024 budget reflects the importance placed on this initiative,” she stressed.
She, therefore, assured President Tinubu and Nigerians generally that the allocation would be judiciously utilised for actualisation of the Renewed Hope agenda of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led federal government.
