The Federal Government has been urged to ensure that the supply of food for the proposed free school meals must be from Nigerian farms.
This call was made by the Country Director, Synergos Nigeria, Mr. Adewale Ajadi in an exclusive chat with him in Lagos.
“I love the fact that government might eventually do these school meals but they should make sure the food that goes to schools are from our farms and are nutritionally sound. Let’s go to research institutes and get to know what these foods can provide and the value chain in terms of food then what do we do with the bye-products,” Ajadi noted.
He noted that this will ensure we make good use of the God-given resources embedded in our nation.
The free school meals was promised by the President Buhari-led administration for pupils of schools across the federation.
