COVID-19: ‘We’ve spent over N500m on school feeding programme – Sadiya Farouq
The minister disclosed this at the Presidential Taskforce briefing on COVID-19 on Monday in Abuja.
She said “It is critical at this juncture to provide details that will help puncture the tissue of lies being peddled in the public space. “So, it was a joint resolution of the ministry and the state governments to give out take-home rations.“The stakeholders also resolved that we would start with the FCT, Lagos and Ogun States, as pilot cases.
“The meal costs N70 per child. When you take 20 school days per month, it means a child eats food worth N1,400 per month.
