\n
The Federal Government on Tuesday said N999 million would be spent daily to feed approximately 10 million pupils in the National Home Grown School Feeding Programme (NHGSFP) across the country.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nHajiya Aishatu Digil, the Team Lead of NHGSFP disclosed this at a stakeholders in Abuja.<\/div>\n
\nShe said Hajiya Sadiya Umar Farouq, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development got approval for the spending N100 per person daily on the feeding programme.<\/p>\n

She said that 9, 990, 862 pupils from primary one to three in the programme would now be fed with N100 daily for 20 days in a month, which would amount to N999,086,200 million daily.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrior to this, we were feeding school children with N70 per child, per meal. This was since 2016 but the President has approved N100 upward review.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\u201cWe have all stakeholders like the World Food Programme, National Bureau of Statistics, National Orientation Agency (NOA), Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), Ministries of Agriculture, Education and others to deliberate on the modalities of disbursements.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are here basically to look at how best we can realise the benefits of the programme based on the new approved cost to improve the standard and quality of the meal and menu for the children.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe breakdown of the N100 is as follows; N70 is for the cost of all food items except egg, N14 for cost of egg to be implemented through the state structures in partnership with Poultry Association of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are planning of having \u2018Egg Wednesday\u2019, where each child in the programme will be giving one egg every Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cN10 stipends for cooks, N5 and N6 for micronutrient fortification, payable to cooks and one naira for quality assurance, payable to supervisors, which is optional,\u201d she said.
\nDigil said the programme would ensure the elimination of poor implementation practices, adding that the ministry was looking out for reforms.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cAfter this meeting, we will collate inputs from stakeholders and present to the minister so that we will implement the reviewed feeding cost in the next feeding circle, which starts this month,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dr Umar Bindir, the National Resource Person of the National Social Investment Programme said that the programme was not the responsibility of the Federal Government alone.<\/p>\n

Malam Musa Abubakar, the Programme Manager of NHGSFP in Sokoto State said pupils and their parents were happy with the initial N70 per meal per child.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\u201cHowever, with the upward review of N100, all of them will smile as this will also boost the rate of school enrolment.\u201d<\/div>\n
\nMr Chika Ebogha, the Chief Programme Officer at NOA said the N100 per meal per child was a good improvement.<\/p>\n

Ebogha called on Digil to step up in the area of compliance in states that have challenges, adding that NOA was willing to assist on monitoring and evaluation of the programme nationwide.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
