FG Lauds Osun Govt Over Free School Feeding Programme

 


The Federal Government has lauded Governor Ademola Adeleke as the Osun State government relaunched the free school feeding programme for school pupils.

The FG noted that Osun is the only state with an ongoing school feeding programme out of the 36 states of the federation.

A statement by the spokesperson to Adeleke, Olawale Rasheed, disclosed on Wednesday that the Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu, Dr Yetunde Adeniji, described the state government’s gesture as a rare show of love for the growth and development of the young ones.

“The SSA was speaking at the commencement of a pilot study ‘value for money’ of which Osun was selected for its passion and high standard in the running of the school feeding programme.

“Governor Adeleke has meanwhile re-launched the programme on a new note, reaffirming his belief that the young ones deserve all the support for orderly transition to youth rank.

“The O-Meal programme is ongoing even with more features. I am proud my state stands out among the 36 states on the O-Meal programme.

“I call on the opposition to at least see this new reality. We should put politics aside and commend this programme which benefits all pupils irrespective of political affiliations.

“Our administration equally reassures the Federal Government and the mandate ministry that Osun will continue to implement the programme under very high standard,” he said.
