The federal government has inaugurated the Alternate Education and Renewed Hope National Home Grown School Feeding Project to expand the scope of feeding by reaching 20 million out-of-school and informal children in 2026.
The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, spoke about the plan during the launching of the programme on Tuesday in Abuja.
Yilwatda said the programme was implemented by the Renewed Hope National Home-Grown School Feeding Programme (RH-NHGSFP), in collaboration with the National Commission for Almajiri and Out of School Children Education and the National Identity Management Commission.
The minister said the project was one of the flagship initiatives of the National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA) in commemoration of President Bola Tinubu’s second-year anniversary, noting that the objective was to build a national framework for reintegrating out-of-school children into safe, structured, and nourishing learning environments.
