Yemi Osinbajo, the Vice-President of Nigeria, revealed that President

At the 45th Annual Accountants Conference in Abuja on Tuesday 1st
September 2015, Vice President, Yemi Osinbanjo, revealed to the general
public that President Muhammadu Buhari plans to give primary school
children free meals.
The free feeding scheme is a core project of the Federal Government in an effort to yield about 1.14 million jobs, and increase food production.
At the event which he spoke on the topic, “Re-positioning Nigeria for Sustainable Development: From Rhetoric to Performance,” he said;
“One of the most important interventions required in the education
sector is capacity building to improve teacher quality. This programme
is intended to drive teachers’ capacity development; boost basic
education; attract talents to the teaching profession. Better educated
population increases economic potential for productivity.
The All Progressives Congress has made a commitment to provide
one-meal-a-day for all primary school students; that would create jobs
in agriculture, including poultry, catering and delivery services.”
