The Federal Government, through the National Home-grown School Feeding Programme, has begun distributing aluminium bowls and spoons to 523,000 pupils in Kaduna State.
Head, Monitoring and Evaluation Unit of the programme, Olugbenga Oyeneyin, disclosed this yesterday to newsmen in Kaduna during the distribution of the items.
He said vendors were feeding the pupils in an unhygienic manner.
He said: “The federal government decided to step in to ensure that every child is fed in a hygienic condition and through the procurement and distribution of the aluminium bowls and spoons.”
He said over 2.4 million bowls and spoons were being distributed across 32 states of the federation in the first phase.
