Adeniji, while kicking off the value for money (VFM) study in Osun State, assured that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would surely live up to his promises of feeding 10 million school children annually in the country.
She noted: “We are committed to the feeding programme of our school children putting in place measures to address challenges that may hinder the success of the programme. Nigerians can be rest assured of Mr. President’s commitment to this programme.”
Adeniji explained that the VFM project aims to ensure the programme delivers maximum impact for schoolchildren.
She further stated that the programme commenced her activities on May 20 and will be on till May 30.
Adeniji met with the Osun State Commissioner for Federal Affairs, Mrs. Adenike Adeleke, as well as commissioners for women affairs, agriculture, education, health, and representatives from NHGSFP and O-meals programmes.
This visit marks the first phase of the nationwide VFM study.
