School Feeding: Gombe State Releases N394m To 2,809 Food Vendors by Nwaforj44: 12:51pm On Apr 07, 2018 |
Hajiya Maryam Mele, Focal Person, Social Investment Project, Gombe State, says N394 million has been released for the feeding of school children under the National Home Growth School Feeding Programme (HGSFP) in the state. Mele who briefed newsmen on Saturday in Gombe on the activities of the agency, said the funds were released to 2,809 food vendors, participating in the programme. Mele said that N197million was released in the first tranche in February, while N197million was released in the second tranche in March. She said issues involving 400 food vendors who had difficulty in accessing the funds due to mismatched names and Bank Verification Numbers had been resolved. Mele said the state had benefited from the social investment programme since its inception in 2016. She said 2,840 beneficiaries were currently partaking in the N-power programme across the state. She said the state had 21,000 applications in the second batch of the programme, adding that 8,251 of the number were pre-selected, with 7,000 verified and sent to the national office for enrolment. “Ours is to verify the successful applications and send to Abuja”, she said. She gave a breakdown of the beneficiaries of N-power as 548 from Gombe Central, 594 from Gombe South, while Gombe North had 1,692 slots. Similarly, she said that 515 food vendors were from Gombe Central, 1,023 from Gombe South, and 1,282 from Gombe North. For the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT), she said only one ward in Yamaltu/Deba Local Government Area of the state was captured, with 1,373 beneficiaries. She said, 1,200 cooperative societies have applied for Government Entrepreneur Empowerment Programme (GIEP) for free interest loan of N10,000 and above. She commended President Muhammadu Buhari for initiating the programmes and Gov. Ibrahim Dankwambo for the support given to ensure its implementation. http://www.akelicious.net/2018/04/school-feeding-gombe-state-releases.html 1 Like 1 Share

What is the point of the school feeding program? After feeding them, what next? Would that provide jobs for their parents to pay tuition? Would that help in training the child? Does it provide the basic teaching material? Our leaders reason from behind in this country.. 3 Likes |

My candid opinion; why can't govt sit and look into a way to make the parents independent through this wasted money, because how can govt continue wasting such amount of money on ordinary feeding instead of providing small scale businesses for their parents and make them independent. We need to be seeing before now in this country, we always tend to see now goals that will benefit us presently and not long term goals that will benefit us forever. We need leaders and not managers in the helm of affairs of this nation. |

There is no government that can solve the problems of all citizen. I see this as a step in the right direction.....many children that are suppose to go hungry will be able to satisfy their immediate need. most of this schools are owned by government and no tuition fees will be charged. A government that take away the problems of feeding and tuition fees from the hands of poor parents has done well and deserved to be commended. At this stage I commend the government and sustainability will make it better. There is unemployment everywhere in the world and only the rate differs. No government can solve unemployment, its our collective responsibility. 1 Like |

Esseite:No please teach me. The money will go a long way in helping those food vendors expand their biz and take care of other needs. Empowerment is not only for beginners. If the governor is owing them or looted the money,you would still come here to blast him for that. A worker deserve his pay. 2 Likes |
