Delta State Government is set to
commence the Home Grown School
Feeding Programme, HGSFP, for
primary school pupils in the state in
January 2017.
The programme is aimed at the
feeding of primary school pupils
between primaries one and three at
the rate of N70 per child for 200
school days per annum.
Speaking at a two-day stakeholders
workshop organized in collaboration
with the Office of the Vice President,
Prof Yemi Osinbajo in Asaba, the state
Governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa,
expressed satisfaction with the
framework of the programme which
has recorded successes in Kaduna,
Kano and Enugu states.
Represented by the state
Commissioner for Economic Planning,
Mr. Kinglesy Emu, Okowa stressed the
need for Nigerians to stop
undermining the value of home
grown products to encourage their
productivity. He noted that the
programme was keyed into the job
creation agenda of the state
government.
