COVID-19: National Assembly asked to stop FG’s plans to feed ‘ghost’ pupils
The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has accused the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs of planning to feed ghost pupils following the decision to proceed with the School Feeding Programme at this period when schools are on an emergency vacation due to COVID-19 pandemic.
“These school children have all gone to their homes and millions of these kids may have been relocated to towns other than where they reside with their parents or guardians.” HURIWA noted that assuming there are children to be arranged and fed, those are not school children because school children are found in schools and not from all corners of the streets when the schools are understandably on vacation.
HURIWA said it is completely shocked that the Minister who only a few weeks back told the House of Assembly that she was unaware of how to proceed with the School Feeding Programme, alerted Nigerians yesterday that the programme would go on today
