FG Releases N375m To Feed 700,000 Pupils In Five States by Buyeradvertcom: 9:29pm On Jan 22, 2017 |
The Federal Government says it has so far released over N375m toward the implementation of its school feeding programme in five states, this year. The Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, Mr. Laolu Akande, made this known in a statement on Sunday in Abuja. Akande said that the release of the amount was meant to feed almost 700,000 primary school pupils in the five states. According to him, all states of the federation, except two, are now being processed for the payment of N30, 000 monthly stipends to 200,000 graduates, the N-Power beneficiaries. Akande, who was giving update on the Federal Government’s Social Investment Programmes, noted that the programmes were proceeding at different stages of implementation. He revealed that the government, last week, released money for the smooth implementation of the Homegrown School Feeding Programme in Anambra, Ogun, Oyo, Osun and Ebonyi, to cover the feeding for 10 school days. “The sum of about N375, 434, 870 has just been released and paid to 7,909 cooks in those states for the feeding of a total of 677, 476 primary school pupils.’’ According to him, Ogun got a total of N119, 648, 900 paid to 1,381 cooks to feed 170, 927 pupils while Ebonyi got N115, 218, 600 paid to 1,466 cooks to feed 164, 598 pupils. The presidential aide said that Anambra got N67.5m paid to 937 cooks to feed 96,489 pupils; Oyo state got N72.2m paid to 1,437 cooks to feed 103, 269 pupils, and Osun got N867,370 paid to 2,688 to feed 142, 193 pupils. He said that all monies were paid directly to the cooks and covered 10 days of school. Akande further disclosed that Zamfara and Enugu States would soon be paid N188.7m and N67.2m, respectively, later in the week. “In Zamfara, the sum would be paid to 2,738 cooks to feed 269, 665 pupils, and in Enugu, the sum would be paid to 1,128 cooks to feed 96, 064 pupils. “By then, over N631m would have been released so far in 2017 for school feeding in seven states, paid to 11,775 cooks and meant to feed over one million primary school pupils,’’ he added. On N-Power, Akande stated that the process of payment of verified graduates, who were beneficiaries, had reached different stages of progress in the affected states. He said that “more and more of such beneficiaries are posting their glad experiences of receiving alerts on the social media’’. He maintained that the payment of the December, 2016, stipends which had gone across the country would be completed in all states except two that did not meet the extended deadline for the verification process for payment. Akande disclosed that the processing of January, 2017 stipends were also at advanced stages. He urged the beneficiaries with issues to remain patient as their cases were being looked into. Akande said the payment of the unemployed graduates, which had created a huge buzz across the country, especially on the social media, was being done in batches. http://punchng.com/fg-releases-n375m-feed-700000-pupils-five-states/ 2 Likes 1 Share

Why ? During recession all funds should be intelligently disbursed and used. Why spend money on feeding pupil instead of empowering their parents to feed them. If power and other infrastructure are available, it will go a long way. Imagine how much extra a barber will take home if he does not need generator to power his business ? They should stop giving the common man food. 38 Likes 2 Shares |

That means each pupil will get 500 naira as feeding allowance . so the pertinent question is, what quality of meal will the children be getting in the ten day duration. The FG is a joke! 1 Like |
