School feeding programme seeks support to succeed in Kebbi
The Renewed Hope National Home Grown School Feeding Programme has sought the partnership of Kebbi State Governor, Nasiru Idris, for the programme’s sustenance in the state.
This is contained in a statement by the spokesperson for the programme, Aisha Sadiq, made available to journalists in Abuja.
She said that the National Programme Manager, Anjor Obande, made the request when she paid a courtesy visit to the governor.
Ms Sadiq explained that during the visit, crucial issues were discussed regarding the sustainability of the programme in the state as well as other modalities that would enhance and fast-track its implementation.
According to her, the programme manager used the occasion to inaugurate the rice-fortification programme driven by the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition in the state.
She said the initiative was aimed at fostering better nutrition for children, and the governor adopted fortified rice as a statutory dietary schedule for school meals in the state.
“The GAIN initiative was in tandem with the renewed mandate of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, as well as the agenda of President Bola Tinubu.
