Bornu Increases Budget For Feeding Students

Alhaji Inuwa Kubo, the Borno Commissioner for Education, said on Sunday that the state government has increased the monthly feeding budget of students of post primary schools from N20 million to N30 million.

Kubo, who stated this during an interactive session with principals of secondary schools in Maiduguri, explained that the move was to improve the quality of food and education of the students.

He advised the principals to make sure that the money was judiciously spent by setting up Committee of Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) to monitor quality of food in schools across the state.

He said the present administration of Gov. Kashim Shettima has completed every arrangement to pay WAEC registration for the students.

“Please, try to provide qualitative education as government is committed to providing the necessary facilities required for effective learning.”

Responding, the spokesman for the principals, Hassan Dibal, commended the effort of government towards improving the standard of education.

Dibal assured that the money would be judiciously spent to improve students’ feeding in all the schools in the state.
