Tinubu allocates over N100bn to school feeding

President Bola Tinubu has received praise from Dr. Yetunde Adeniji, his Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on school feeding, for the N100 billion allocated for the programme in the 2024 budget.

Adeniji claimed in a press release on Wednesday that President Tinubu's N100 billion budgetary commitment demonstrated his compassion for the children of Nigeria.

“The 28.7trillion 2024 budget signed into law by President Bola Tinubu on the 1st of this month , is one empathy and compassion as far as the N100billion allocated for School feeding programme is concerned.

“It clearly demonstrates Mr President’s unwavering dedication to the well-being and upliftment of the Nigerian people,” she said.

She also praised President Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda, highlighting the man's perseverance, fortitude, ability, empathy, and compassion in leading Nigeria.

“I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Mr President for his visionary decision to reintroduce the National Home Grown School Feeding Program (NHGSFP) which will play a crucial role in removing children from the streets including improved enrollment and enhancing the socioeconomic activities of the host communities where these schools are situated.

“Additionally, the substantial allocation of funds in the 2024 budget reflects the importance placed on this initiative,” she stressed.

She therefore gave President Tinubu and the people of Nigeria her word that the funds would be wisely used to implement the federal government of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Renewed Hope agenda.
