The programme, unveiled on Wednesday, was attended by Yusuf Tanko Sununu, Minister of State for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, alongside government officials, development partners, and community stakeholders.
This initiative, part of President Bola Tinubu‘s commitment to addressing child malnutrition and advancing education, is a collaborative effort between the Federal Government, the Aminu Musa Abdulsalam (AMA) Foundation, and the Kaduna State Government. The pilot program is designed to expand sustainable, nutritious feeding interventions in Tsangaya schools and underserved communities.
At the launch, Sununu announced that over 785 pupils at Jere Tsangaya had been enrolled in the National Register. He emphasized the importance of the programme in helping families achieve stability, allowing them to participate fully in the country’s development. Sununu also addressed the recent suspension of social intervention programmes, reassuring Nigerians that these programmes, including the Homegrown School Feeding Program, will continue and be improved for greater impact.
“Mr. President’s will is to ensure that families have enough resources to contribute positively to the development of the country,” Sununu stated, further assuring beneficiaries that their dues would be settled and the programme would be more efficient and transparent.
Dr. Aderemi Adebowale, National Programme Manager of RH-NHGSFP, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to securing children’s futures through proper nutrition and education. She described the feeding programme as a collaborative effort that will ensure the long-term success and well-being of the children.
The launch also received praise for the AMA Foundation, which played a crucial role in supporting the initiative, including constructing a modern kitchen, providing utensils for 1,000 pupils, installing a water supply system, and offering medical care and other essential services for students.
This enhanced feeding initiative marks a significant step toward addressing child hunger and improving educational outcomes for vulnerable children across Nigeria.
