In a bid to check the rising rate of out-of-school children in Delta State, a traditional Ruler, Obi Chukwunonso Nwoko, the Obi of Udumuju-Gboko, in
Aniocha North Local Government Area, has called for the introduction of free school feeding program across the state.
“Their parents have stopped buying biscuits, okpa or any other kind of lunch for them while in school. Founder/President, WSBEI, Maureen Bonds, in her opening remarks, the school feeding program started in February 2023 when she took decisive measures to fight the impact of poverty and its attendant consequences on children.
“The programmes were designed to specifically target sections of vulnerable Nigerians, including youths and children. WSBEI’s main objective is to address the challenges of malnutrition among school pupils,” she said.
