The Special Adviser to the President on Social Investments, Mrs Maryam Uwais, has explained why the Homegrown School Feeding Programme of the Federal Government was suspended in some states.

There had been reports of poor quality food, insufficient and irregular supply of food, as well as late disbursement of funds by the government in states, such as Akwa Ibom and Niger.

Uwais said the outcome of the data in the affected states was being reconciled, adding that it became necessary to do this due to the discovery of a disagreement between the figures provided by officials of the State Universal Basic Education Board and what the monitors on the field actually reported.

“We mobilised the NBS to venture into all government-owned primary schools where we are feeding to confirm the numbers and those actually feeding. The Federal Government had in 2015 designed the social safety programme to improve the lives of all Nigerians, irrespective of religion, political affiliation and social class.

Comrade Aisha Buhari was right. Permit me to add First Lady.

We all know the reason even without being told

Was it existing before?

No relevance of that nonsense

They have rigged the elections and they are now in charge.

SAKAMANJE

Election don finish na and we don catch una for una lies. Clueless government

Election is over now. 😂

Clowns. Clowns. Clowns. At the peak of the third term, you suspend the program. April to end of June having in mind that schools will go on long vacation in July.

Vote buying programme.

Next level, N-power is next

Election is over naa

The reason why they suspended the school feeding,is the same reason why most students don't read again after exam is over.

Some of us cried foul over the quality ad quantity of 'food' given to these poor school children. We were called names! I watched some episodes on Channels TV on schools in Akwa Ibom & Oyo States. The food they served was simply appalling & eye sore!

Free is not sustainable. Free food and trader moni was a perfect scam at the right time.

There had been reports of poor quality, insufficient and irregular supply of food. They are really working on how home feeding programme can be improved she said 'some states are suspended' not all the states. Pls lets us learn how to read and understand the news before.....

I am not surprised many will just read the headlines and start diving to ghastly conclusions. 'We (will) start feeding on June 24 for the states that have been feeding, irrespective of their protests. That is the cut-off-date for all protests” - Maryam Uwais. Read and comprehend

This is the news report from her official statement. Every project gets reviewed for efficiency to correct any lapses. Human beings will always do shady things. It is strange to see people cheering as if you are happy to hear that adults have tampered with children's lunch money,

If the FG isn't intentional with what the pupils are being fed then there will be no need for suspending the programmes is those states. We also need that head count, it's is necessary for continuous progress.

Person don use the money feed himself and him selfish reasons

Election is over! Next level

She explained that the National Social Investment Office had engaged the National Bureau of Statistics to conduct a headcount of pupils and those cooking the food under the intervention programme. FACTS

Please do spare us your reasons. You knew it was a scam and we knew too, period!

The other states will soon hear it

2019 General Elections are over... God will judge them all... They should wait for God judgement, it will soon catches them all.

Election has come and gone

Those idiots that voted for Evil APC will now find a way of feeding their kids at school Nigerians will get Sence soon.

L.O.L

You guys are ridiculous. School feeding program? To what end?

The only reason as much as I knw as a Nigerian is because ELECTIONs are over

This program you had initiated it with good hopes & achievements , but the only problems is that ' the pupils are not receiving well balanced diet food as you have made mentioned, you have to put more effort in ensuring well balanced diet food is delivered to the pupils

There was no feeding programme anywhere, it's all propaganda. OfficialAPCNg is full of lies

It was a campaign strategy so we understand why

Trade money suspended. school freding programme suspended next level scammer continue

Simply put, Election is over.

Cause they're no votes to plus, remember his statement 'those who worked for my victory will be greatly rewarded. What about those who didn't work/vote? NA DEM

Lol. This administration couldn’t figure out their priorities they we still be blaming PDP

Them no need people votes again

So the children will start with double portion

Last last everything na..............

Obviously what is good for the goose is not good for the gander then...

Instead of extension there is suspension

It was a hoax. You peoples cup is filling up gradually very soon revolution will follow.

Simple, election is over.

Socialism never works! Fix the real issues and food will not be a problem.
