PRESIDENCY REQUESTS KADUNA’S SUPPORT ON SCHOOL FEEDING SCHEME
The Presidency has solicited the support of the Kaduna State government towards the successful implementation of the school feeding programme.
According to a statement released by her office on Friday, Dr. Yetunde Adeniji, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on School Feeding, made this known during a meeting with the state deputy governor, Dr. Hadiza Balarabe, the state House of Assembly Speaker, Yusuf Liman, and the Executive Chairman of the Kaduna Inland Revenue Services, Jerry Adam.
According to Adeniji, the trip to Kaduna marked the beginning of the Value for Money Study’s first phase, which was carried out in collaboration with GAIN.

“We explored collaborative opportunities to advance educational initiatives and ensure sustainable progress in the school feeding program across the state.
“The visit which marks the second stage of the nationwide Value for Money (VFM) study underscores the presidency’s commitment to fostering dialogue and cooperation for the benefit of every child in Kaduna,” Adeniji said.
Remember that in May 2024, the VFM Research Programme was officially launched in Osun state. The project’s goals are to guarantee that the programme has the greatest possible impact on students and that the government receives the best possible return on its investment.
Discussions at the meeting with Jerry Adam, the KADIRS Executive Chairman, Executive Directors, and other important authorities centred on finding ways to work together and create synergy in order to improve the efficacy and efficiency of the school food programme.
“Together, we are working towards a future where every child has access to quality education and nutritional support,” she noted while underlining the essence of her working visit to Kaduna state.
