As a result, the cost of feeding each kid has increased from N70 to N100, according to NSIPA CEO Halima Shehu. However, Shehu also disclosed that in light of the current financial difficulties, the N100 that was authorized for every kid participating in the feeding program by the previous government has been reevaluated. She stated that to support development and vitality, every meal served to students in public schools in grades one through three, as well as the Almajiri schools now included in the program, was intended to be well-balanced.
"We're feeding 10,420,000 primary one to three students in public schools right now," she stated. Nigerians would find it interesting to learn that each kid is allotted N70 per day for food, and that money is supposed to be used to create a balanced meal.The funding for feeding these kids was raised to N100 per child for the final two feeding sessions. Since this administration took office, we have not fed children because we are considering the economic circumstances and the realities on the ground, she continued. Given the state of the nation's economy, that is not conceivable.
