Jigawa
state’s Commissioner for Education, Rabi Ishaq has disclosed that the
government has raised its feeding allocation for boarding students daily from
N90 to N135 per person.
While speaking
to newsmen in Dutse the Rabi said that the total amount spent on feeding
amounted to N245million. She dismissed rumours that government was planning to
de-board all boarding students in the state due the economic recession facing
the country.
“Our commitment has not changed.
And there is no plan by the present administration to end the school boarding
system. “We are doing a lot of things other states are not doing, especially in
the area of students’ feeding. “As I am talking to you now, Governor Muhammad
Badaru has approved an increase in the amount being spent to feed boarding
students across the state. “Henceforth, each student is fed with N135 and not
N90 as it was before,” the commissioner explained.
