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.
