The federal government has expended N12.26 billion under its school feeding programme in Niger State within two years, says Amina Gu’ar, the focal person of the National Social Investment Programme (NSIP) in the state.
”No fewer than 560,000 children are currently being fed in 2,663 schools across the state.
”We also have 5971 cooks, 2,368 cheese makers, 846 agriators and 1,146 local suppliers.
“Niger State is the only state that adopted agriators structure in school feeding, this is because we wanted to checkmate inflation, quality of food items delivered to various local governments and to create jobs,” she said.
Mrs Gu’ar noted that the amount is part of a total of N28 billion spent on the four components of the NSIP in Niger State since inception of the programmes in 2016 till date.
