To address the difficulties of out-of-school children, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has mandated that the school feeding program be restored.
After many years of operation, the initiative was discontinued by the government of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.
Tinubu, on the other hand, ordered its restoration, claiming that it would aid in resolving the learning issue.
He stated that if the learning problem is not addressed, addressing the challenges of out-of-school children will be tough.
Prof Tahir Mamman, Minister of Education, revealed this during a one-day session on quick wins in the midrange Ministerial deliverables from 2023 to 2027.
The president, according to the minister, directed that the school feeding program be transferred from the Ministry of Humanitarian Aid to the Ministry of Education.
The Minister stated that the purpose of the retreat was to establish ways to implement all of the policies adopted to address the issues, as well as to delegate responsibilities to the various organizations responsible for addressing the out-of-school children problem.
