Federal Govt. School Feeding Programme Undergoes Setback..

The Federal Government’s school feeding programme is reportedly collapsing as food vendors no longer turn up in schools.

Findings by news correspondents in Benue, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Ogun, Enugu, Bauchi and Kano states showed that vendors because of non-payment of their funds had stopped providing food in the schools.

In some states, teachers and pupils told newsmen that when the programme was in operation, it was epileptic with few of the schoolchildren getting food when the vendors turned up.

Some schools in Makurdi, the Benue State capital city, reported that since the beginning of second term in January, the programme had not resumed.
