Over nine million schools pupils are currently benefiting from the federal government’s homegrown school feeding programme, it was revealed.
The minister also hinted that the establishment of the ministry has reduced the rate of unemployment amongst youths despite continuous population growth with the N-Power programme.According to her, about 109,823 beneficiaries from Batch A and B of the N-Power programme have set up businesses in their various communities.
“It is rewarding in the sense that when we visit the field and see beneficiaries whose lives are being changed by the FG humanitarian interventions, it leaves us with a sense of fulfillment that we are doing something worthwhile for humanity.” “As part of the value chain, the programme has improved the nutrition and health of the children, increased school enrolment and completion, sustainable income to smallholder farmers as well as stimulating growth and productivity in communities where schools are situated. Not forgetting financial inclusion as all cooks are compelled to open and operate bank accounts.”
