wailers won't like this!



At least their hungry children can go to school to eat now

it seems food is more of what you want of our educational system.
These program is a failure before kickoff
Planning to feed children while the teachers are on strike for non payment of salaries.

stanech:
Am I the only one who doesn't buy into this stupid feeding idea ? Why feed school children when they don't even have chairs to sit on and materials to write with, Talk about misplaced priorities


Besides, where will the money come from? Is it sustainable? Remember the failed state of Osun

pls in ur life don't ever say osun is a failed state

osun is not the only state which owned workers their salary. still we are better by paying half salary some state can not do that our public school is good for students to learn.
so why are we a failed state pls and pls don't ever say that again.

Pls bubuhari jst remain where u are u are cursed in ur absence d acting president has started wat u should have been doing yeye president

mind you the vp can't act without the presidents approval and endorsement; either the vp or the president, the good news is dat we are progressing as a nation and they are gradually fulfilling their campaign promises.

The truth is bitter i will try to uphold it the more. Since there is no money in Nigeria that means the beans will be watery or half bake. Yeye govt!

ObiOkpor:
Food wey headmaster's and headmistress'es of various schools will hijack and divert into family business. No be Naija we dey?
Corruption is everywhere. Hope it lasts.

it is the responsibility of you and I to make it work by asking questions and visiting such schools you see the headmasters are diverting it to personal businesses. mind you,you can report such online and those in authority will investigate.

God bless My Beloved Country Nigeria.

We are in need of funds to support agriculture, entrepreneurship and local production. Unemployment is on the rise. The nation's economic driver is being sabotaged due to disagreement between the central government and the regions locals. Crude oil no longer holds the value it used to, leaving Nigeria broke. So broke, she presently does not have the funds to execute her annual budget.

Commonsense would expect Nigeria to invest in assets(funding for smes,agrobased and solid minerals sector, rail, air and water transport,education and research,technology start-ups etc) rather than any form of liability(feeding school children with x amount).

For how long will the silly feeding continue? How is it sustainable? And when asked to setup an economic advisory team, his team of "advisers" would say there is one!

No matter how many other assets they may claim to have planned out, Nigeria is too broke for this! You cannot take 3 steps forward and 2 backwards each time and expect to make any significant progress. Not everything the United Nations or whichever global body suggests would work for our specific situation except of course they are funding it 100 percent for us without conditions.

sexstoriexpost:
Let's see how long this can continue. Just another avenue to siphon funds to personal accounts.

If they dont do they are insensitive, if they do they want to siphon funds...I tire o..

Please, don't sound like an infant. There are processes and timing. The absence of PMB has nothing to do with commencement of the programme. They simply have to put things together and marshal out a strategy. The VP cannot approve a milestone programme without the endorsement of his boss.

My brother, do you even need to respond to his hate-induced comment? Ignore him, that's the best way to answer his types.

stanech:


Yea but that doesn't mean we need to start feeding kids. How about cutting taxes and providing electricity so companies can grow and provide more jobs.

And the feeding programme will not provide employment opportunities for the citizens shey?

very good. spokesman of the federal govt

Someone would have to grow the food and someone would have to cook it which means the programme would create jobs and help keep pupils in school.

To make it more effective, majority of the food items should be produced locally in the vicinity of the school.

so why are we a failed state pls and pls don't ever say that again.

The statement of Osun being a failed state is rather to the extreme and should not arise here. However, this program is not and cannot be sustainable from an objective point of view. Let's assume it costs two hundred naira to feed a child/meal/day,


Assuming schools are in session for 3 Months/term (12 Weeks)

i.e. 5days a week x 12 Weeks a term = 60 days/term

i.e. 60days x 3 terms = 180days/annum

200 x 24,000,000 = 4,800,000,000

i.e. 4.8 Billion naira per day on this program

Therefore, expected cost of implementing this program per annum is:

4,800,000,000 x 180days

= 864,000,000,000

The question is 'do you objectively think that this can be sustained knowing full well the outcome of it in both Osun and Kaduna states, given the current economic realities?
My opinion though.

Hope as it's been launched in Banchuet Hall today now, it will as well get to all primary schools in Nigeria. Not expecting what happen on 27 May, 2016 to happen again. Were president said 17B was given to children to celebrate their days and doesn't get across. Source by schools in my area says they didn't receive any token from any body. We are watching for part II

....I fail to see how sustainable this so-called feeding programme will be cos i know for a fact that Fg is cash-strapped at the moment.Apart from the unsustainability of this programme,apc politicians will simply hyjack the funds with little or nothing getting to the really hungry whom this rogramme is meant for anyway...perhaps the 5% and 95% dichotomy might play out here too


....All in all , i am really tired of apc and their backward thinking and policies.You guys killed the little that was left of the economy in less than one year,rendering millons jobless and hungry with your wicked actions and inactions.You then turn around to talk about feeding the children of those you starved deliberately,and i am suppose to jump around in joy??..oh no!!,i will leave the monkeying around for the zombies

I thought as much and may God Bless. I think did not know the state of school and classroom in Nigerian public schools that was why. By the time those that will share the food reach there they will turn back and go and restructure the program.

shaddoww:
the way it is being done in Osun, the teachers don't av any influence on d food vendors.

Better that way.

It is very obvious that some people (Wailers or whatever they call them), are never happy when something good is coming from this present government. They only find joy when we have headlines like; bomb blast, Niger Delta Avengers, Unemployment, Fuel scarcity, Buhari's medical condition, Fulani attack, IPOB protests, Bank short-staffing,....etc
In your best interest, i will advise you to change your orientation and be happy when something good happens. Else your life will be programmed to attract bad news; since that is the only thing that makes you happy.

And let them be served what dey plan to use to feed our children so we all can see..they will serve fried rice and salad in the banquet hall and feed our kids with nasco biscuit.

maximunimpact:
Federal government will today lunch the school feeding programme, which is expected to ensure the feeding of over 24 million primary school children, would have each of the children given one meal per day in the first year of its operation.

The scheme is part of the N500 billion social investment plans of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Presidency, even as both the federal and state governments are expected to review the strategic plan for the scheme.

The event is billed to hold at the Old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Some dignitaries expected to be in attendance include governors of Borno, Oyo, Osun, Enugu and Kaduna states, and other government representatives and stakeholders from 36 states of the federation and developmental partners.

According to a statement from the Office of the Acting President, the strategic plans will run until 2020 and forms the cornerstone of the nationwide Home Grown School Feeding programme.
The statement added that “the Federal Government is working with key technical partners to capitalize upon global experience and adopt best practices.”

One such partner is the UK’s Imperial College, London’s Partnership for Child Development, PCD, which is providing technical assistance to the Presidency. The scheme is to help pupils become better students, and also boost the local economies, and create new jobs along the way.
Beside the strategic plan, Osinbajo would also launch the “Global School Feeding Sourcebook: Lessons from 14 countries,” a joint Partnership for Child Development, the World Bank and World Food Programme analysis of national school feeding programmes from across the globe.

This is pure economic ruination, the said 500 billion naira social welfare fund is a borrowed money good economic policy dictates that you don't borrow to finance unbank able projects. Now the question is how do the government pay back the fund? This is irrational and will end up mortgaging our future it's quite obvious that this administration is rudderless.

I think the best thing for this administration to do is as a matter of urgency initiate a road map for education they should try to upgrade the obsolete infrastructure in the educational sector that will usher in a conducive environment for proper learning

Nice one FG.

ObiOkpor:

I agree but you and i know it has reduced drastically. I recall a recent news about something that happened in one of these IDP camps, one of the coordinators was caught diverting many bags of rice. God knows how long he has been doing it. The truth is there are whistle-blowers everywhere now.

Why feed students that don't even have chair, tables, textbooks to study?
Why feed students that don't even have good school uniform to wear to school?
Why feed students that don't even have healthy school environment?
Why feed students that don't even have good roads to their schools?
Why feed students that don't even have good water to drink?
Why feed students that don't even have good library and Laboratories to learn?
Why feed students when their teachers are hungry and they are not ready to teach quality education?

There are a lot of thing that can better the life of these students, stuff like:
Creating good roads
Good Housing policy
Constant Electricity
Good water supplies
Good security for the citizens
Agricultural Aids to support the farmers
Making good laws that will protect these children
