Feeding pupils during lockdown is a scam — Parents Teachers Association tells FG 

The National Association of the Parent -Teacher Association has disagreed with the Federal Government over the attempt to feed pupils at home during the lockdown period.

Recall that the President , Major General Muhammadu Buhari, during his nationwide broadcast on March 29 said the school feeding programme would not be affected by the lockdown .

Buhari said, “ Although schools are closed , I have instructed the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development to work with State Governments in developing a strategy on how to sustain the school feeding program during this period without compromising our social distancing policies . The Minister will be contacting the affected States and agree on detailed next steps . ”

The President , National Association of Parent – Teachers Association , Mr Haruna Danjuma , in an interview with our correspondent said it would be difficult to sustain the school feeding programme during the lockdown .

Danjuma said , “ As a parent body , we are in support of the school feeding programme , we are as well looking for ways to augment whatever the Federal Government is offering . We want the Federal Government to allow the PTA to be part of the implementation so that we can know the types of meals they are giving to our children . There is the need to carry us along in whatever they are giving to our children .

“ However, we must say that we don’ t know how the Federal Government intends to implement the policy during the lockdown period. I don’ t think they can reach any of the pupils now , because the schools are lockdown . Maybe we have to wait for the president to see how he intends to implement this . We are not aware of this plan and we don ’t know how they want to realise this . ”

Also, the National Publicity Secretary of the Association , Dr Ademola Ekundayo , while corroborating Danjuma said the school feeding programme would not achieve its purpose if the Federal Government continues with it during the lockdown .
He said , “ To us parents, we see the idea of continuing the school feeding programme during the lockdown as a scam because there is no way it will work . Even parents were not carried along; I don ’t know whether the headmasters or principals will be the ones searching for the houses of the pupils and be giving them raw foods as they promised.

“ I do not know how they got into that conclusion . I believe all those materials will end up in private purses . There is no way it will work , we should stop deceiving ourselves . ”
