Too much money is being spent on the school feeding program by the government of Nigeria which should not have been so. Somehow there is nothing too bad, if the government of Nigeria can feed school children but our point is that there are lots of things that should be done first before this school feeding program. If you calculate the amount of money that is being spent on daily basis as alleged, in a month, it runs into billions of naira. This is a country where unemployment is so huge. Why not use this huge sums of money to create jobs which would at the end boost the economy of the country? Let the responsibility of feeding children for now be solely on the parents. All the government needs to do is to create jobs for the unemployed. Give parents the tools that is required to do their tasks which is creating jobs for them and every other things would fall in place. Again mismanagement and corruption may set in at the end, a situation for example, where one million may be spent but some dubious officials of the school feeding program would double the figure to achieve their evil agenda. The Viewers Corner News team is therefore appealing to the government of Nigeria to save cost by looking into this issue of school feeding program to see if it is the right thing to do at this critical period of economic backwardness.
