In a landmark move to combat child hunger, boost school enrollment, and reduce the number of out-of-school children, Governor Dauda Lawal has officially launched the Zamfara State Pilot School Feeding Programme — a bold and people-driven initiative aligned with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
This milestone was made possible through the leadership and coordination of Dr. Yetunde Adeniji, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on School Feeding (OSSAP-SF), whose office continues to drive inclusive national strategies to uplift Nigeria’s most vulnerable children.
“This program is not only about feeding children—it’s about restoring dignity, improving access to education, and fighting poverty,” Governor Lawal declared.
“We are proud to be working with visionary leaders like Dr. Yetunde Adeniji to deliver on our shared promise.”
The programme is supported by key development partners including the World Bank (AGILE), UNICEF, International Center for Economic Development (ICED), FINPACT Development Foundation
Yetunde who identified out-of-school children in 14 local councils of the state, she assured that through sustainable pilot interventions, the collaboration will mark a turning point in Zamfara’s education sector.
“Together, we are ensuring that no child is left behind — nourishing minds and bodies one plate at a time. This is what impact looks like. This is Renewed Hope in Action,” she stressed.
