Illiterate senator talking rubbish and thinking he's making common sense. He just goes about criticising everything just for the sake of criticising.

Primary education and paying schools teachers is strictly the responsibilities of state and local governments. Federal government is only supporting the efforts of the state government with the feeding program by ensuring school children are properly fed before classes. Students will never learn well when they are hungry so, there is nothing bad in federal governments plan.

Paying teachers promptly is good but not the major solution to the problem in the education sector. Most of the primary school teachers in rural states are not even qualified to teach and like the saying goes, 'you can't give what you don't have'. We saw the reactions of teachers in Ekiti and Edo state when the government wanted to administer competency test on them, they revolted and even voted out the Fayemi government in Ekiti and Edo state had to cancel the plan. What we should do now is for states to sieve the list of their teachers, sack the poor ones, invest massively in training the good ones and bring in fresh graduates just like the federal government is proposing with its plan to employ 500,000 teachers.

The problem with this country has alwz been the FG taking upon themselves unnecessary burdens. Now the government of Buhari has taken over parental responsibility using my tax to service an unnecessary socialist programme when we have a lot of things begging for attention in this country. Imagine 500bn naira on a senseless socialist programmes. Do you know what that money will do to our economy if judiciously utilized?

It is unnecessary. That budget is a #budgetOfYams

MrDoGood:
There's a budget for the provision of salaries.
That's not Ben's work. He's been paid too.
Go and tell Buhari to use his own salary to pay workers Infact, he's the president and he needs to sacrifice for his people.
Ben is not even a minority leader in the Senate.
Just an ordinary floor member.
Tell your president to go purchase some sense.
Thank you.

Temptee101:
How is it his duty to pay workers?
If your mother was a teacher i guess you wouldn't be this insensitive. Your hate has blinded you to seen the truth in the message hence you resorted to attacking the messenger

Elosky20:

it is nt also the FG duty but that of the state and local govt to pay teachers their salary. the FG is only trying to support them.

Oga just keep quite! Mr I-know-it-all, ask yourself what the country stands to benefit from this programme. They are crying there is no money but the available is being wasted on trivialities. They are just creating avenue to embezzle fund.

seunmsg:


The question is not about structure but about the sense in ensuring school children have the proper nutrition on daily basis. Your twitter senator criticised the proposal and in turn suggested that all we need to do is pay teachers promptly. That is just silly if you ask me.

We need knowledgeable and well paid teachers, good structures like you suggested and well nourished school children. A hungry or malnourished child can never learn well no matter the structures put in place and that's why all reasonable people should support the feeding program of the government and not criticise it just for criticising sake like Ben Bruce is doing.
