The school feeding program initiated by most State Governments is just a scam and fraud.
I have always advocated for caution in implementation. The model designed by the FGN is promising but may not be easily implemented at the state level.
The idea of using the feeding program to reduce the number of out of school children is right step in the wrong direction.
We have argued and campaigned against this idea. The enrollment rates are already outrageous and feeding kids would only further frustrate the system.
What we need is a well laid out plan to fund more schools that would take care of these out of school children.
In Sokoto we were able to convince the Governor otherwise but off course the politicians were not happy about our position.
It's really disheartening to see our children treated less than prisoners in the name of a fraudulent feeding program that sets to enrich a few at the detriment of the people.
The financing of such a wasteful venture should have been directed to critical aspects of the Education sector.
The APC has failed in this regard as most States are doomed to fail.
