Kaduna teachers caught eating food meant for pupils

A has alleged that some teachers in Kaduna state were eating the food meant for pupils in the ongong Federal Government’s School Feeding Scheme.

The School Feeding Field Monitors of the NGO – Connecting Gender for Development (COGEN), on Wednesday made the allegation during a town hall in the 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.

Mrs Esther Gushe, Assistant Head Teacher, Aduwan III Primary School, confirmed that eggs were always in short supply in her school.

Mr Yakubu Kyari, the Desk Officer of the programme in the local government, said he receives between 300 and 400 crates of egg weekly instead of the 730 crates for the 177 schools in the area.

Kyari said teachers eating up food meant for pupils have been warned to desist from the act or risk sanction.

COGEN Head of Programmes, Mr Ebenezer Omolekun, told the town hall meeting that findings by the NGO revealed that one egg is being shared for between two to four pupils in 46 schools, while two pupils share juice and biscuit in 26 schools.
