No going back on School Feeding Programme

The Kaduna State Government on Tuesday said
there was no going back on its free feeding
programme introduced in January for over 1.5
million pupils in public primary schools.


The Commissioner for Education Science and
Technology, Dr Shehu Adamu , told journalists in
Kaduna that the hiccups identified in running the
scheme had been sorted out.


He warned that the administration would deal
decisively with any official found sabotaging the
programme.


The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that
the government had recently sacked a
headmaster and one other official for diverting
food meant for pupils in their schools.


It had also placed two officials on suspension
for alleged sharp practice in running the school
feeding programme.



Adamu appealed to parents and other
stakeholders to support the state government to
reposition the education sector.
The commissioner assured that the 2, 700
teachers not paid salary for months would soon
be paid following the verification of their
status
