 FG to include Almajiris in school feeding programme

 

The Federal Government has said plans are underway to conduct headcounts of Almajiris in the country and enroll them into the homegrown school feeding programme by the present administration.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Schools Feeding, Dr. Yetunde Adeniji, revealed this during a visit by Governor of Nasarawa state, Abdullahi A. Sule in Lafia.

A statement by Special Assistant to the SSA, Mr. Oyedokun Oyewumi indicated that the programme targets children in public schools, adding that her office is open to suggestions.

She said her interactions with relevant authorities demonstrates President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commitment to improving the welfare and educational opportunities for children through the school feeding program, with a focus on incorporating marginalized groups, such as the Almajiris.

Speaking during the visit, Governor Sule called on the Federal government to make it a priority to include Almajiris in the home-grown school feeding plan.

He recognised efforts of the president’s aide to bring about reforms that would ensure the success of the schools feeding program.

He appealed to the SSA to provide an improved livelihood for the almajiris, adding that this will eradicate child destitution and remove beggars from the streets.

“The incorporation of the Almajiri, a group of traditionally itinerant Islamic students, into the program would help in taking them off the streets and provide them with proper nutrition and education,” he said.

He assured of Nasarawa State Government’s support in achieving the objectives of the programme.

“We call on the Office of the SSA to, in collaboration with Northern States, relevant institutions, conduct a census of Almajiri schools and headcount of the destitute children with the view to enrolling them in the ongoing National Home-grown School Feeding Programme (NHGSFP)”, he said

Governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani had earlier applauded her proactive methods in getting familiar with institutions and states that will add to the success of the programme.

He equally said that the Kaduna state government would partner with the SSA’s office to ensure success of the programme when it begins, with a view to improve the nutrition value of the children.
