Out-of-school Crisis: Tinubu Revives School Feeding Programme

Keeping to his word of continuing from where former President Muhammadu Buhari’s government left off, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is reintroducing the school feeding programme.

Tinubu said that the programme will address the challenges of out-of-school children. He said it would also help check learning crises.

The Minister of Education, Prof Tahir Mamman, revealed this during a one-day retreat on quick wins in the middle Ministerial deliverables from 2023 to 2027.

According to the minister, the president directed that the school feeding programme be moved back to the Ministry of Education from the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development.

The Minister said the retreat was to find ways of tackling the challenges posed by out-of-school children.
