The National Association of Nigerian Students has described as fraud, the plan of the Federal Government to continue the homegrown school feeding programme during this ongoing COVID-19 lockdown.
In a statement made available to DAILY POST on Thursday by NANS National Public Relations Officer, Comrade Azeez Adeyemi in Abeokuta, the association said the Federal Government’s decision to continue with the school feeding programme even as schools are not opened was, “an avenue to further drain lean the resources of the country.”
“The Federal Government’s insistence to go ahead with the school feeding programme despite criticism by Nigerians, especially stakeholders in the education sector has shown that the programme is another way of perpetrating fraud on another large scale.” NANS suspected that the continuation of feeding school children at their homes was another “sham,” adding that it was also a “smokescreen to deceive Nigerians.”
