Kaduna teachers eating food meant for pupils

The School Feeding Field Monitors of a Non-Governmental Organisation, Connecting Gender for Development (COGEN), on Wednesday alleged that teachers are taking the rations meant for pupils in some schools in Kaduna State.

Ms Rachael Musa, one of the monitors said during a Town Hall Meeting on the Federal Government’s Home grown School Feeding Programme in Kafanchan, Jema’a Local Government, said the ration do not usually go around.

Musa also said although every child was supposed to be given an egg once week, the eggs do not usually go round because of short supply.

Similarly, Mr Monday John, another monitor alleged that some politicians were collecting money from food vendors on the ground that they were not members of the ruling All Progressive Congress.

John also said that some members of the Peoples Democratic Party have equally stopped their children from eating the food, saying it could be poisoned.

He described the development as serious, and urged those involved to stop the act so as not to sabotage the programme.
