Following its reintroduction on Thursday, December 21, President Bola Tinubu has directed that the school feeding programme be transferred from the Humanitarian Ministry to the Education Ministry.
During a one-day workshop on incremental improvements in the middle ministerial targets between 2023 and 2027, Prof. Tahir Mamman, the Minister of Education, revealed this information.
It was reported that the President claims that the relaunch would assist in addressing the issues that out-of- school children are facing, saying that it will also help curb the learning crisis.
Mamman, speaking on the retreat, stated that its objective is to develop all of the policies to address the problems and to hold different organisations responsible for addressing the issue of out-of-school.
Recall that the government of former President Muhammadu Buhari halted the school feeding programme..
