Jigawa: Governor Namadi approves 50% increment in boarding school feeding
Governor Umar Namadi of Jigawa on Friday approved a 50 per cent increase in boarding school feeding.
This is contained in a statement by the Commissioner for Higher Education, Yusuf Chamo, in Dutse.
The commissioner said the increase is to ensure that “quality and nutritious” food are provided for students across the state.
“The increment is due to the current inflation being experienced in the country.
“The state government also received complaints from contractors engaged to provide services for the students.
“In view of this, a committee was set up to review the condition and find a quick solution,” the commissioner said.
He noted that the state government reviewed the project as a matter of urgency, to rescue the situation and ensure sanity.
“It is only through the increment, that the contractors can continue to supply quality and hygienic food items to the boarding schools,” he added.
