The Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on the School Feeding Programme (SFP), Dr Yetunde Adeniji, has commended President Bola Tinubu, for allocating N100bn for the programme in the 2024 budget.
This was contained in a statement by Olumobi Adewale from the office of the SSA yesterday in Abuja.
Adeniji said the N100bn allocation clearly shows the empathy President Tinubu has for the children of the poor in the country.
The statement read, “The N28.7trn 2024 budget signed into law by President Bola Tinubu on the 1st of this month, is one of empathy and compassion as far as the N100bn allocated for School feeding programme is concerned.
“It demonstrates Mr President’s unwavering dedication to the well-being and upliftment of the Nigerian people,” she said.

She further commended President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, stressing the energy, strength, capacity, empathy, and compassion that Mr President has consistently demonstrated in leading Nigeria.
She said, “I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Mr President for his visionary decision to reintroduce the School Feeding Program (SFP) which will play a crucial role in removing children from the streets and enhancing the socioeconomic activities of the host communities where these schools are situated.
“Additionally, the substantial allocation of funds in the 2024 budget reflects the importance placed on this initiative.”
The presidential aide, accordingly, assured Tinubu and Nigerians generally that the allocation would be judiciously utilised for actualisation of the Renewed Hope Agenda of the current administration.
