The Federal Government has revealed plans on how it will execute the School Feeding Programme despite the closure of schools nationwide.

Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, SADIYA FAROUQ, revealed these plans during the national briefing of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 in Abuja.

She said the Federal Ministry has made progress with the plan and is working with state governments to ensure success of the feeding programme in their states.

The minister added that the decision to continue the Feeding Programme follows presidential directive by President MUHAMMADU BUHARI which instructed that despite the lockdown and school closure, malnourished children should not be neglected.
