BEVERLY HILLS, May 15, (THEWILL) – Chairman of the Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (LASUBEB), Wahab Alawiye-King has disclosed that the State is set to begin the distribution of food to primary school pupils at home.
Alawiye-King made the disclosure when he visited the warehouse where the food palliatives were kept in Ikeja.
He noted that the initiative is part of the Presidential directive that the Home Grown School Feeding Programme must continue in spite of school closure.
Alawiye-King explained that the government agencies involved have been working relentlessly for the past few weeks to ensure that the directive is carried out, hence the reason for the monitoring of the exercise by the Board.
The LASUBEB Chairman assured that the exercise will be transparent, as beneficiaries have been identified and verified, adding that international and local organisations are part of the monitoring group involved to ensure that the food palliatives get to the right households.
