President Bola Tinubu has directed that the school feeding programme be reintroduced to address the challenges of out-of-school children.
The programme was suspended by former President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration after years of operation.
Tinubu while ordering its restoration, said it would help in checking the learning crisis.
He said if learning crisis the is not tackled, it will be difficult to address the challenges of out-of-school children.
The Minister of Education, Prof Tahir Mamman, made this known during a one-day retreat on quick wins in the middle Ministerial deliverables from 2023 to 2027.
Mamman said the President directed that the school feeding programme be removed from the Ministry of Humanitarian and returned to the Ministry of Education.
The Minister said the essence of the retreat was to find ways of implementing all the policies developed to tackle the challenges and to distil responsibility to different agencies responsible for overturning the out-of-school children problem.
