Key takeaways
- President Muhammadu Buhari's address to the nation on June 12, 2020, for Democracy Day, highlighted the National Home-Grown School Feeding Programme.
- However, the speech offered no specific details on how the programme was being conducted amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and school closures.
- The President did share the official number of beneficiaries prior to the nationwide lockdown, stating, "Under the National Home-Grown School Feeding Programme, over 9,963,729 children are being fed to keep them in school and improve their nutritional status." These figures do not shed light on the programme's operational status during the preceding month while schools remained shut.
