President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed that the FG School Feeding Program be re-introduced to
address the challenges of out-of-school children.

It could be recalled that the former administration of President Muhammadu Buhari had suspended the
program after many years of running it.

But Tinubu ordered its restoration, saying it will help in checking learning crisis.
He said if learning crisis is not tackled, it will be difficult to address the challenges of out of school
children.

This was disclosed by the Minister of Education, Prof Tahir Mamman, during a one-day retreat on quick
wins in the middle Ministerial deliverables from 2023 to 2027.

According to the minister, the president directed that the school feeding programme be removed from
Ministry of Humanitarian and returned to the Ministry of Education.
